On October 29th in Nashville, David Starr was joined onstage by many of his co-writers to support the forthcoming release of his new album Beauty & Ruin. The full album is scheduled for official release in February 2020.

Throughout the night, Starr was joined by John Oates, producer of the record, along with other collaborators on the project, including Irene Kelley and Dana Cooper. Several other co-writers on the album (Jim Lauderdale, Wild Ponies [Doug and Telisha Williams] and Wood Newton) also showed up to join the celebration. The audience was delighted by the full band performance and anticipation builds for the release of the new record.

Beauty And Ruin is a musical and literary adventure, inspired by Of What Was, Nothing Is Left, a novel written by Starr’s grandfather in 1972. The record is produced by John Oates and co-produced by David Starr and David Kalmusky. “It is like watching a movie,” says Oates. "The cinematic aural landscape visually evokes a classic tale of tragedy, love gone wrong and an exploration of human nature and all its flaws." Beauty and Ruin and an updated edition of Of What Was, Nothing Is Left are set for release in February 2020.

"It was so gratifying to play these songs live and share them with such an appreciative audience in Nashville Tuesday night," said David Starr. "I really love playing with these guys and having John Oates in the band made it all the sweeter."

“It was very interesting to watch David’s album come to life in this beautiful live performance," says Lynda Weingartz,

CEO - AirPlay Direct. "David’s musical gifts have a natural way of attracting great songwriters and artists that want to work with him. Whether in the studio or on the stage with friends, David Starr is always memorable.”
