ABOUT

Dave moved to Nashville in 1990 as a songwriter/singer…then some critics said that his instrumentals stood out above his singing…and he knew what they meant. Dave is “mellow” at heart, and writes pensive and thought provoking guitar instrumentals, and tells stories about what he was going through at the time.

A wide variety of emotions are covered with the Rock/Jazz/Baroque influences. Some songs have sax and trumpet as a full band experience. Beyond playing solo guitar pieces, Dave’s dream is do a Yanni or Pat Metheny type thing with a full band and sax/trumpet solos, guitar/violin duos, guitar solo’s, and dance.
