Solo

With over 15 years of performing experience, Dave has a staggering repertoire of more than 300 popular rock, alternative, folk, blues, country and reggae songs. He is happy to do requests.

A veteran of pubs, clubs, parties and campfires, he can get people in the audience to sing along with him. He sometimes even invites them on stage 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.

Dave is available for weddings, parties and corporate events.
