Background

About David Blitt

David Blitt was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and began playing guitar at the age of eight. Music occupied a central role in his life; from long outings with just a Walkman and his favorite tunes to extended study sessions, music was always there. In High School David took a brief hiatus from the guitar to focus on his interest in painting and the sciences. However, while completing a degree in Biological Science the allure of the guitar was hard to resist. David began teaching guitar on the weekend to fund his studies and soon was spending most of his free time with the instrument. After completing his Biology Degree, David moved to Boston in 2013 to pursue his dream of studying music at Berklee College of Music. Now a Berklee alumni, David has performed live at several venues in the Boston area and released two original music EPs. Archon released their debut album, “Waste You” on March 30, 2015 which is available on all major music retailers including iTunes and Amazon. David’s other musical project Schirocco will release their self-titled debut on June 29, 2015. Upon listening to the recordings one might be surprised that the same guitarist is featured on both. David is adept at playing what is best-suited to a piece of music, whether that is a screaming guitar solo with blistering, rapid-fire lines or a softly played melody with space and delicate phrasing.
