For more than a decade, he has been named The Berkshire Eagle’s Best Singer/Songwriter. Grover has performed at the White House, opened the Goodwill Games, appeared on NBC-TV’s “Today Show,” performed with the Detroit Symphony for their Youth Series and played for the delegates of the United Nations, where he played his song Turn the World Around to kickoff the International Year of Clean Water.

| David Grover is a musician of historic impact and talent. I have had the good fortune to listen to him in educational settings since the early 1980s. Students and familys grow closer, and values of community are enhanced through David's music. Congratulations to the Berkshire Music School. | | from: Alan Berg | on: 03-20-2009 12:00AM
