David Goldenberg is a mandolin player whose varied interests have helped him blur the lines between the rugged fundamentals of traditional music combined with the emotive humanity we all try to convey through our individual experience.  David has taught mandolin lessons for nearly 15 years and took first place at the 2015 National Mandolin Contest in Winfield, Kansas.  A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, David finds as much joy in a formal classroom atmosphere as he does gathered around the campfire playing tunes with close friends.
