After a long and scenic route through life, David Locke washed up on Whidbey's shores and found a home in Langley.  Highlights of his journey have included guiding tours at California's Hearst Castle, driving trucks on the Alaska Highway, and playing salon harpsichord at the Harmony Valley Inn.  His musical career began at age nine, on the accordion, leading to a life as a professional organist and church musician.  For ten years he played and sang at St. Augustine's in the Woods, and he now plays the organ every week at Coupeville United Methodist Church.

Returning to the accordion, he appeared for fifteen years with Allspice, an international folkdance band, and more recently with Whidbey's Shifty Sailors, in addition to many coffee shop and retirement home appearances and private parties.  Specialties include a large repertoire of French Musette literature,  Brazilian choro, and standards from Europe and America.
