I love when good things happen to my friends. Recently, my friend Dave Wilton, who writes and performs under the name A Boy & His Kite, had his song â€œCover Your Tracksâ€ selected to be included in the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2 movie. The soundtrack is out now (available on iTunes) and his full album (which is sure to be amazing) will be out ~~soon~~ November 20th.

Dave is a very talented songwriter, musician, engineer, and producer. Heâ€™s also one of the nicest guys I know. So if anyone deserves the attention that a Twilight soundtrack attracts, itâ€™s certainly Dave. He makes incredibly beautiful and complex music. Iâ€™ve learned a lot from him over the years.

We met through his brother Dan, bassist and one of the three singers/songwriters in Rudisill. Dave was a tremendous help and positive influence over us as we were getting started as a band. He helped guide a few of our recording sessions, bestowed some of his songwriting and musical wisdom with us, and even lent us his gorgeous Tele a few times. (Side note: Dave, Iâ€™m going to steal that guitar from you someday. Just FYI. 😉 ).

Iâ€™m really excited for Dave and hope everyone can pick up his record when it comes out. Make sure to follow Dave / A Boy & His Kite for all the latest news about his music! If you can, help spread the word about his music too!
