"Now here’s a band that’ll make you smile before the first chorus is through. The Sam O’Halloran Trio swings like the old days — sweet guitar, steady bass, and keys that dance right through the cracks. They tip their hat to folks like Django and Wes, with a little New Orleans spice for good measure. It’s the kind of music that gets in your bones — hot, easy, and full of heart."

The Age described David Cosma as having the "full-bodied croon pairing the silken wryness of Elvis Costello and the gravel of Bob Dylan” while Street Press magazine wrote "a thinking person’s songwriter that speaks volumes to what a terrific talent we have in our midst”.
Inspiring lyrics accompanied by sumptuous melodies and harmonies, together with his unique method of playing the guitar (upside down aka south paw), guarantees an impassioned live performance. Sonically, his music is rich and luminous and boasts a world class production quality that is often overlooked in the world of independent artists, but it is lyrically where Cosma stands apart, with a knack for examining commonplace and even trite circumstance and then magnifies their significance with a wry and at times ironic tone. Religion, pop culture and nostalgic nuances, punctuate and ultimately, accentuate his writing, triggering instant attention from audience and listeners.
David has toured with, supported and performed alongside artists including Mark Seymour, Brian Cadd & Russell Morris, Pete Murray and Jeff Martin to name some.
He has also co-written and fronted the critically acclaimed theatre show "Sun Rising- The Songs That Made Memphis" for over a decade.
