Welcome to the official web site for David McLean, an acoustic musician based in Lincolnville Beach, Maine. David is a prolific song writer whose passion for music is fueled by his love of family, friends, and nature.

April 9th, 2004 has seen the release of his first CD Rooms of Light,
Lush acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies make this collection of songs that celebrate love and relationships, a rich listening experience.

From a song about media's place in our lives, to protesting war, David McLean covers a wide range of musical expression.

Hard to define or put in a specific genre, McLean's music is driven by the mystery of the human soul and the spiritual calling of the heart. One might describe his music as folk with an edge, or "bardic" rock with a Celtic soul.

David McLean shares his musical journey with many friends who have landed in this magical place on the coast of Maine, Penobscot Bay. A rich variety of instrumental and vocal contributions by his musical neighbors, enhance his songs .

Maine musicians, Phil Clement and his son Sam Clement, of Lincolnville Beach, add their distinct style of mandolin and electric guitar, along with Appleton musicians, Jamie Flynn —vocals and acoustic guitar— and Mike Lovely—drums. Maria Irrera's vocal arrangements, keyboard, and lyrical background harmonies complement McLean's soulful voice and profoundly influence the music.
