DAVID BYRNE was born in Dumbarton in Scotland today 69 years ago, on 14 May 1952.
Two years after his birth he moved with his parents to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. When
he was 8/9 years old the family traveled to the US to go and live in Arbutus, Maryland.

Of course, he’s most famous as the singer/songwriter and face of legendary band
Talking Heads (1975–1991). Afterward, he went solo and has released so far 10
albums solo including 3 collaborative LPs (2 with Brian Eno and 1 with St. Vincent).

Turn Up The Volume! picked three – not really obvious Byrne tracks,

– LISTENING WIND –

– HOME –
