ANTHONY DAVID’s star is definitely on the ascent – he now features on Barrack Obama’s iPod, according to a recent radio interview with the US President.*

The Grammy-nominated Atlanta singer returns to the UK on Tuesday February 22^nd for an evening of Acoustic Soul at London’s Bush Hall.

Tickets for the concert, presented by Jazz FM, are available from www.hmvtickets.com (0843 221 0100), price £15.

Anthony’s intimate, acoustic date – on which he will be joined by guitarist Brandon Thomas – coincides with the release of his forthcoming third album, As Above, So Below, on February 21^st and follows his recent sold-out show at the Jazz Cafe.

His first new album since 2006, when he performed on BBC 2’s Later…with Jools Holland, the 12-song set includes guest performances from fellow Atlanta singer Algebra, and a duet with his cousin Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, on Tears For Fears’ Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

For many, David’s slices of country-blues, hip-hop and acoustic soul come across best when delivered in an unplugged setting.

“Anthony seemed to come alive the most with his guitar strapped on during his acoustic

interludes” – Blues & Soul

“On Backstreet he showed us the Anthony David we know and love.  Him, a guitar and a story….” – Soul Culture

*President Obama was asked about the contents of his iPod during an October, 2010 interview on the ‘Ricky Smiley Morning Show’.  He replied: “You know,  I’ve actually been listening to some of the neo soul.  The First Lady turned me on to Anthony David – he’s got some nice music”.
