About
With over 25 years of performing experience, Dave has a staggering repertoire of more than 150 popular rock, alternative, folk, blues, country and reggae songs. He is happy to do requests to keep the audience engaged.
A veteran of pubs, clubs, restaurants, parties and campfires, he can get people in the audience to sing along with him.
With his impressive collection of pedals, Dave can layer parts with his acoustic guitar to fill out the sound so it’s as if several guitarists are playing together.
Dave plays harmonica on some songs, and has been deveoping a repertoire on the piano as well.
Dave performs solo and also with a percussionist for added flavour.
To see Dave perform, check out one of his Upcoming Shows.
Dave is also available for weddings, parties and corporate events. Please see his Wedding Singer page for more info.
