The world will always need…music written with depth of soul, character and heart. David Goldman's voice is beautiful, his lyrics surprising, his range impressive, and the record stays with you…" Rob Mathes, songwriter, performer, arranger.

Combine heartfelt singing and songwriting with worldly influences from Blues, Folk, Country, Celtic, Latin and WorldBeat roots, and you have David Goldman’s Summer With Juliet. There are over 100 guest artists on the album—including singer/songwriter Dayna Kurtz, New York Voices’ Lauren Kinhan, Irish bagpipe wizard Jerry O’Sullivan, Billy Joel Sax player Richie Cannata, Celtic singer Susan McKeown, African percussion group "Heritage" and Suzanne Vega guitarists Billy Masters and Marc Shulman. Summer With Juliet celebrates musical colors across many cultural divides; it has received airplay on nearly 140 radio stations worldwide.
Of Jewish, Sicilian and Albanian background, David Goldman grew up in a house rich with classical, opera, popular, blues and international folk music. David’s musical influences and tastes run from Stevie Wonder, Howlin’ Wolf, and Tim Buckley to Ravi Shankar and Italian tenor Carlo Buti.

He has also traveled in Italy, Portugal, England and France as well as in the American Southwest.

His “Summer With Juliet” received an Honorable Mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. In 2004 his Gospel song “God Came God Saw God Cried” won an Honor Award in the Great American Song Contest.
