Dave has always known he would be a musician. From early childhood, when his sister gave him his first guitar, ( an old Harmony archtop acoustic )it was evident, music was to be Dave's life. His love for performing has always been the light of his life."
Dave spent many years playing in and around Florida and consequently met and became friends with members of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. He holds the “Margaritaville State of Mind” in high regard, and has developed a fond feeling for the culture and music of the "Tropics and Southern USA."
Having shared the stage with artists such as Del Shannon, The Coasters, The Drifters, Bobby Vee, Buddy Rich, Hee- Haw TV show, Kenny Price, Dave Dudley, Faron Young, WLW TV in Cinncinati, Atlanta, Bellamy Brothers, Wild Cherry, and members of the Coral Reefer Band, (Jimmy Buffett) and many others..... Dave has enjoyed a lifetime of music and still looks forward to each and every opportunity to turn it on and crank it up!!
Dave has played for small crowds of people ..say 30 or so and then the wild crowds of 20,000!
"Be it a small town pub, a theatre, the islands on Lake Erie, or a stage with the Gulf of Mexico as a backdrop...every show, every time, it's new, fresh and fun!"
In 1982, Dave released his first single, “Coming Down For The First Time” and “Sweeter Than The Wine.” “Coming Down” received airplay in eleven states and was the number one requested song for KIX106 FM in the central Ohio area.
