ABOUT

Joliet Dave is a musician and songwriter that began performing in the mid 70's throughout the Chicagoland area. I've been in a multitude of both cover and original bands as well as performing as solo artist locally and in California. Currently I'm the bassist/manager of Chasing Amy. Also working with several other projects, one of which is a classic rock/new country band seeking a vocalist. I've also served as a writer with examiner reviewing live music and indie bands and was a contributing writer with What's Up Xtra magazine reporting on the local Chicago area music scene.
