Dave's forth coming CD is a mixture of originals and reinventions on unexpected tunes from the 50's 60's 70's,80's and 90's. All treated with an earthy/worldly mixture of Brazilian, Afro Cuban, Jazz, Soul, Folk and Rock. All the instruments are acoustic, which is very satisfying to listen to. Everyone's voice in the group blends beautifully. "My idea is to take the music that has always affected me/us and put it through the lens of the band. "I find that a lot of people really respond to the tunes that they know in an unfamiliar way"
