Widely acclaimed as one of New England’s premiere instrumentalists, David Surette
is highly regarded for his work on the guitar, mandolin, and cittern.
As a soloist, he is nationally known as a top player of Celtic
fingerstyle guitar. Yet his diverse repertoire also includes original
compositions, blues and ragtime, traditional American roots music, and
folk music from a variety of traditions, all played with finesse, taste,
and virtuosity. As part of a duo with his wife, singer Susie Burke,
they have performed regularly together for 20 years, recording several
albums and building a reputation as one of New England’s top folk duos.
Surette was a founding member of the Airdance band with fiddler Rodney
Miller, with whom he recorded four albums and toured nationally. He is
also a highly sought-after accompanist.
Surette is an accomplished and gifted teacher who has taught at
workshops and camps throughout the US, as well as in the UK. He is folk
music co-ordinator at the Concord (NH) Community Music School, and
artistic director of their March Mandolin Festival. He has authored a
book of Celtic fingerstyle guitar arrangements for Mel Bay Publications,
and is a regular contributor to Acoustic Guitar and Strings Magazine.
In 1994, Surette was awarded a travel grant from the National Endowment
for the Arts to study the traditional music of Brittany, and has
published a collection of Breton folk tunes. He has been the recipient
of an Individual Artist Fellowship award from the NH State Arts Council,
and in the fall of 2008 was designated a Traditional Arts Master by the
Maine Arts Comission.
Surette has released five solo recordings, as well as three duo albums
with Susie Burke and a number of other collaborative recordings. His
most recent solo CD release, Sun Dog, was one of the top 10 local releases for 2010 (“a stunning piece of work from a gifted guitarist”, Portsmouth Herald).
