Dave commands a striking stage presence; not only for his towering stature, but moreover for his impressive dynamism. He can morph from his laid-back folk crooner persona - with a voice that melts into musical nirvana- to the energetic burst of the iconic pub-rock front man, belting out an impassioned cry as if his life depends on it. Coupled with his battle-scarred acoustic guitar as his weapon--of-choice, Dave delivers his bittersweet songs with just as much sheer musical virtuosity as red-raw emotive spontaneity. The songs themselves are artistic gems in the tradition of the timeless classics: strong, memorable hooks; heart-felt, profound lyrics that depict Dave's autobiographical take on life. From the uniquely poetic view of the everyday, thru to the weighty narrative of social/political issues, spanning the length & depth of his much-loved land which he constantly traverses. From the intensely personal, heart-on-his-sleeves confessionals to affairs of the heart that we can all relate to. No matter what format, Dave is highly individual in his expression... in every aspect, one can feel the ache, the elation and the passion of his beliefs all presented by a seasoned well-traveled artist whose style still remains fresh & constantly evolving, yet instantly recognizable. There is always a resonance of familiarity- with soaring melodies channeled from the musical "ether" and then set in stone. But crafted expertly like true artisans into sometimes organic, less-is-more understatements to epic, orchestrated sounds capes... from classic 3-minute pop anthems to the odd experimental seed that turns into a no-holes-barred roller-coaster jam.
