The Trio
The ‘David Dower Trio’ is David’s primary musical ensemble. Following five tours to Bulgaria, including recording four albums in Bulgaria, the project has naturally evolved to become a hybrid ensemble blending Bulgarian-musical influences with David’s love of Jazz/Alternative Pop. leading to a “an atmosphere that you can pretty much guarantee you’ve never heard or even considered before” (Songlines 2023).
The band’s four albums include Sonder (2025), Mravka (2022), There Are No Stars (2019) and Made in Sofia (2018). These albums feature collaborations with incredible Bulgarian artists, including Zhivko Vasilev (kaval), a Bulgarian Folklore choir, and Vesela Morova.
David tours in Bulgaria with his long-term musical compatriot Matt Fisher on drums, Kim May on Bass, and Elliot Frost on guitar.
The band also perform in Melbourne, where 3 local singers perform the songs from the albums in the Bulgarian language.
