Reviews for Neurotica:

"One of the most exciting outings of the season…Gurland is in better voice than ever and everything he sings is fully realized...he illuminates the stage with a vibrant presence that is sexy, funny, and sensual.  Much like Madonna, Gurland pushes peoples buttons, reinvents the norm—and it all works."  Jon Hoglund, Back Stage

"David Gurland is one of a new generation of singers bringing whole new areas of great songwriting into the champagne world of cabaret... he beautifully proves that the songs written by and for Madonna are every bit as well-crafted, smart and emotionally searching as any “golden age” showtune, while throwing in teasing hints of camp and trashy queer sexuality. His high, soaring tenor powerfully conveys Maddie’s landscapes of desire and regret, joy and fear."  HX Magazine

"The combination of Gurland's terrific voice and Holland's fabulous arrangements proved relevatory."  Next Magazine

“We didn’t get any of the references.”  Barbara and Scott Siegel, Two of Clubs

 

Reviews for The Gurley Show:

"Gurland throws himself into his material with fervor and conviction. His voice has a beautiful centered tone with a burnished top. It throbs with the passion of a young Billy Joel."
David Hurst, Show Business

"The Gurley Show is lively, raw, exuberant and touching, a solid collection of songs that showcase Mr. Gurland's astonishing voice and irrepressible theatricality...This is not a careful, predictable show and as such is vibrantly alive and shows just how exciting cabaret can be." Chris Byrne, LGNY

"This exceptional singer actor with the soaring tenor still touches the
heart...sheer beauty."  Scott and Barbara Siegel, Backstage

"Joyful harmonies and satisfying arrangements...brilliant and musically solid."   Deian McBryde, EvAnMedia

"He comes onstage with all the energy of a jack popping out of a box, and he keeps popping non-stop....he's working on something few others are: cabaret-rock fusion."  David Finkle, The Village Voice

 

Past Reviews:

"There's one element too few performers toss into their mix: danger. This guy has no qualms about doing so, and it makes his appearances especially intriguing. He's got a fire-plug physique, and a five alarm fire attitude toward a song…A performer with that much edge bears very close watching."  David Finkle, The Village Voice

"David Gurland shines as he brings together a unique combination of classic
pop confections in an approachable, yet sophisticated setting." Jeffrey L. Newman, THE BLADE

"On his new selftitled disc, David Gurland emerges as an excellent interpreter of
contemporary pop songs…His cover of 'Where've You Been,' a song I first
heard by Kathy Matte that I've always thought would be perfect sung by a gay
man, is awe-inspiring."  Greg Shapiro, OUTLINES

"Gurland's trust in his own instincts seems for the most part well founded. He
sings songs that he clearly loves and relates to, and his enthusiasm allows him
to put over!"  Chip Deffaa, The New York Post

"He delivers a pathos in 'Not That Different' and 'Where've You Been' that
seems to elevate the lyrics above mere sentimentality." Tom Musbach, GAY.com

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

"A young singer of dramatic power and puckish charm…honey voiced, pocket
sized, sweetly demeanered and incredibly sure handed at interpreting standards!"  Eric Myers, Time-Out NY

"David Gurland is one of the best male performers around. He gave everything
he did his own personal stamp. He sang his songs not only beautifully, but with
full conviction!"  Roy Sander, Backstage

"David Gurland is a tenor with a soaring voice who has the acting chops to give
that voice depth and meaning. Gurland stands out as a unique talent with a
fresh perspective. His charisma shines and his voice is a thrilling instrument.
Among the many qualities that distinguish him, is his versatility, he can be both
adorable and sexy at the same time."  Barbara and Scott Siegel, Show Business
