David Dondero (born 24 June 1969 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

[1][2][3] In 2006, NPR's All Songs Considered named David one of the "best living songwriters" alongside Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Tom Waits.

[4] Dondero started his musical career on drums at the age of nine, due in part to the fact that he "was always drumming on stuff with my hands".

His latest album, titled Immersion Therapy, was released in August 2023.
