Miss Liz Serves David Serby Honky Tonk Country Singer
<p>Country Artist • Songwriter • Storyteller<br>David Serby September 1st | 7 PM EST Title: Broken Hearts, Honky Tonks & Finding Common Ground Tagline: Sometimes the songs born from trying, failing, and learning become the stories that connect us most. Description: On September 1st at 7 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Los Angeles country artist and songwriter David Serby for a conversation where music, storytelling, heartbreak, humour, and human connection all pull up a chair. David’s album Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk brings the spirit of the classic roadhouse into modern Americana, drawing from the Bakersfield tradition while creating something distinctly his own. Through upbeat shuffles, introspective songs, flawed characters, and carefully crafted lyrics, David explores people searching for connection while trying to make sense of the situations they’ve sometimes created themselves. His career has taken him to the Stagecoach Music Festival twice and onto stages alongside artists including Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Wanda Jackson, Neko Case, Robert Earl Keen, and many others. Yet underneath the accomplishments is a storyteller who describes himself simply as curious. His favorite color is blue. He comes from Southern California and lives in Long Beach. His T-E-E carries a message particularly meaningful for today’s world:<br>Seeking Common Ground.<br>And his story can be summed up in three honest words:<br>Trying. Failing. Learning. Grab your cup as Miss Liz and David dig into the stories behind the songs, the beauty of imperfect people, and why sometimes a honky tonk is about much more than music. Welcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we don’t just talk about what someone has accomplished—we dig into the experiences, mistakes, lessons, and stories behind it. Tonight we’re heading somewhere a little different. Picture a gravel parking lot, a glowing jukebox, a live band, strangers sharing a room, and somebody walking through the door carrying a broken heart. My guest tonight knows how to turn that world into a song. Please welcome David Serby, Southern California country artist, songwriter, and storyteller behind Broken Heart in a Honky Tonk. David has spent years creating songs about real people—the complicated, imperfect kind who try, fail, learn, love, lose, and somehow keep going. He’s performed at Stagecoach twice and shared stages with some legendary names in American music, but tonight we’re going beyond the stage. David describes himself as curious, and his T-E-E is Seeking Common Ground. His three words tell us exactly where tonight’s conversation may take us: Trying. Failing. Learning. David, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Grab your cup, and let’s dig deep. Closing: Tonight wasn’t simply a conversation about country music. It was about the people inside the songs. The ones who make mistakes. The ones nursing broken hearts. The ones searching for connection. And the ones who keep trying even after they’ve failed. David’s story reminds us that failure doesn’t have to be the final verse. Sometimes it’s simply where the learning begins. And perhaps that’s where his message of seeking common ground becomes especially important. We may come from different places, believe different things, and live very different lives—but heartbreak, hope, mistakes, laughter, music, and the desire to belong give us more common ground than we sometimes realize. Thank you, David, for bringing your music, curiosity, and stories to the table.
