Gurland, who hails from New York City , has won a place as one of the most formidable openly gay singers in New York 's music scene.  Channeling cabaret experience and instincts into his pop/rock shows, Gurland merges talent, presence and humor, into an unforgettable entertainment experience. Gurland’s accolades include 4 MAC Award nominations, the MAC/Hanson Award, a Gay and Lesbian American Music Award Nomination, and three Bistro Awards, one of which recognized his first CD, released in 1999 to rave reviews.  

 

Critics have raved about both Gurland’s voice and his stage manner.  Wayman Wong of The Daily News writes “ 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.” David Finkle of The Village Voice reviewed one of Gurland’s recent live performances saying "Gurland makes excitement. “ David Hurst of Next Magazine wrote “Looking relaxed and sounding fantastic, Gurland's edgy tenor voice lends itself perfectly to the pop-rock idiom.” 

David has been seen at The Cutting Room, The Bitter End, Town Hall, CB’s Gallery, The Living Room, Don’t Tell Mama, The Duplex, and Fez, as well as out of town venues like Odettes in New Hope, The Gardenia in LA, the Manor in NJ and Twiggs in San Diego.
