DAVID TANKLEFSKY is a songwriter, guitarist, minor league baseball broadcaster, journalist, filmmaker and radio broadcaster from Boston, Massachusetts.

Tanklefsky has been writing songs, recording and touring for the past ten years. His early musical years were spent in Grimis, the band he and his friends formed in high school that gained substantial recognition throughout the northeast, playing at Boston landmarks like the Paradise Rock Club and the Middle East. Grimis toured nationally and still plays a handful of concerts each year. In the fall of 2010, Tanklefsky and Grimis traveled to the village of Kisii, Kenya to record the students at the Margaret Okari School. They produced a two-disc record: “Grimis Presents: I Am the One". They toured the northeast in the spring and fall of 2011, selling the record and screening his documentary about the project. So far, the album has raised more than $10,000 for the Margaret Okari Children's Foundation.

In 2011, Tanklefsky released his first solo EP, The Sun and the Shadows, on New Wheel Records. In April 2014, his first full-length solo album, Be Brave, was released and followed by a U.S. tour.

Tanklefsky has been a featured songwriter at Club Passim’s Campfire Music Festival as well as at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. He has performed with musicians and bands including Zammuto, Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, Apollo Sunshine, State Radio, Savoir Adore, Emil & Friends, The Slip and Piebald.
