What Critics have said:

"David Gurland soars with a tenor that's sweeter than honey... he sings with a passion, personality and a puckish sense of humor that's all his own."
Daily News, NY.

"When David Gurland sings Sting's ‘Every Breath You Take', he insinuates it as a stalker's compulsive boast. It's threatening, frightening, almost menacing. It's a risky comment on the undercurrents of violence in everyday encounters. The singer who likes to give the audience a little jolt, who gets his or her kick out of throwing the patrons slightly off guard, even if only momentarily, is one for whom I move to the edge of my seat to jot down enthusiastic notes. And that Gurland is working on something few others are, ‘cabaret-rock fusion,' Gurland makes excitement."
Village Voice, NY.

David has performed for sold out crowds at such first class New York venues as BB KINGS, The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, The Living Room, Downtime, CB's Gallery, The Metropolitan Room, Eighty-Eights, The Duplex , Don't Tell Mama, and The Triad, as well as The Gardenia in LA, Twiggs in San Diego, Martini Beach in Cape May, Tim Mcloones Supper club in Asbury Park, and The Manor in West Orange NJ. David was also on the roster of distinguished artists to be included in Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concert series, for two seasons in a row.

Since the fall of 2008, while still pursuing his solo career, he has been a member of the 4 man vocal group UPTOWN EXPRESS www.uptownexpressnyc.org. On June 23rd, 2010 the group released their album entitled "Take You There."
