David Raybuck is the prodigal singer/songwriter of spiritual alt-rock for music freaks, and he is on a mission to help people encounter their Creator through music. There is far too much generic/formulaic music in the world, and David wants to reach the ears of music lovers who are stirred by eclectic songs with undeniable beauty and creativity. He draws from the influences of incredible artists like Radiohead, The Beatles, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Ween, Led Zeppelin, Elliot Smith, Supergrass, Air, Failure and many others to create music that is catchy yet unique, with flavorings of rock, folk, grunge, & Americana.
David lives in Cleburne, Texas just south of Fort Worth, and he is a husband, father of seven children, pastor at a local church, and professional computer nerd. In the limited amount of time these roles have spared him, he has continued to write music from a young age, and now it is finally time to spread it. David recorded his debut 2022 14-song album, The Prodigal, in his very modest home studio using a combination of real and virtual instruments in Garageband. He is currently working on his second album, releasing singles as they become ready, and playing live solo acoustic shows.
God created music and it is one of many ways that He speaks to us. Music is a universal language that can cut through cultural, political, and religious divisions to unify, inspire, heal, and draw us near to Him. By supporting David, you are joining the mission and the helping him produce more music and reach more people with God's life-changing message.
"The Prodigal rates as one of the most idiosyncratic songwriting collections released in recent memory as well as one of the finest gospel-themed albums in the last quarter century."
ANNE HOLLISTER
"...my gut tells me that David Raybuck is going to be breaking into the mainstream a lot sooner than later.”
MINDY MCCALL
"The Prodigal is a fantastic debut full of songs both catchy and heartfelt, and all fourteen tracks feel like pieces of art that have been in the making for quite some time."
