Davie was about to leave the MP3 player lying on the pavement when something stopped him. A voice in his head. You’ll regret it if you leave it. You’ll only come back for it later. Can a song change your life? Can a song bring people, places and moments in time alive again? Davie Watts is the Trackman. He knows what song to play to you and he knows exactly when you need to hear it. Davie seeks out strangers in need and helps them using the power of music.
