David Celia at The Canteen
See event details

A gig held at The Canteen on Thursday 28th May. The event starts at 20:30.


David Celia is an innovative singer/songwriter and astonishing guitar player, known for his spontaneously driven live performances. His songs have an open alt-folk style that’s also been described as “Beatlesque”. 

He tours frequently across Canada and Europe (Glastonbury Festival) and is quoted as "One of Toronto's best guitar players” by CBC Radio. David's reputation as a guitarist has led him to play with many local Canadian artists including legendary Alt-Country/folk singers Ian & Sylvia Tyson, Andy Kim (The Archies) and acts diverse as Icelandic alt/pop star Emiliana Torrini.  David's music consistently appears on the BBC and CBC and even the late Gordon Lightfoot had purchased all of his albums. After making two albums with duo project “Marla & David Celia”, he’s more recently experimenting and collaborating with new musicians (Zuffalo) and continuing to tour in Europe and the UK.
