Rising Stars: Meet David Woolridge

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Woolridge.

David, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am a singer songwriter, I grew up in a family of musicians from Kentucky. My uncles and dad played Bluegrass Gospel music. The played the Bill Monroe circuit for many years. They wrote originals and it was something I always wanted to do myself. I started writing around the age of 18 .

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been a lot smoother once I got established in the local scene. It was tough at the beginning because most people want to hear cover songs , but I have been able to weed out most covers. So now I try to just do shows that I want to do , which is singer songwriter shows

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
By profession I was a flooring installer, just retired. As a songwriter I write songs about Faith and relationships with Jesus . I write songs about the real struggles people can go through and how Know Jesus is the real solution. I’ve been through a lot myself and I think people can relate. I am proud that someone might come to Christ from a song I’ve written. Maybe it helps them through a struggle they face ect.. I am not sure anything necessarily sets me apart from anyone else . I’m just a sinner saved by grace trying to get through life

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Don’t Judge just love people and try to be a Blessing every day
