Born in Massachusetts, Don Wall lived in Texas for 40 years before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 2021 with his partner Kimberly. Don is a singer/songwriter who writes catchy melodies with a good beat, timeless themes, and poetic lyrics. He calls them “Stories with a Beat.” They are intended for dancing, mostly a two-step. Don started his musical journey as a drummer, after watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. He played in rock and roll and blues bands in high school and college. Eventually, Don took a break from music, moved to New York City and began a 40 year career as a journalist, mostly in TV news as a producer and on-air reporter. When Don moved to the Dallas bureau of ABC News in 1984, he started playing drums again and added country to his rock and roll chops. At the age of 40, Don first began playing guitar, eventually writing songs, and playing with experienced bluegrass, country, and Americana musicians. Overall, Don has always been a writer. In addition to writing for radio and television, he has written for newspapers, magazines, has published three books, and several poems. Songwriting challenges Don in new ways, ways he has never experienced. For Don, performing music, whether at a show on stage in Nashville, or playing for seniors is a privilege and rewarding experience he enjoys sharing.
