| Dave became interested in music while listening to the Beatles and various local bands. He and his neighborhood friends formed and taught each other how to play music and later formed the Knight Riders Band. Bob and Dave later helped form the band Childhoods End and they went on to win 1st place at the Pacific High Invitational Battle of the Bands in 1967 in San Leandro CA. Dave helped form the band Marshall Rose, which went on to win 1st place at the Teenage Battle of the Bands at Chabot College in Hayward CA in 1973. He has played throughout Northern CA for over 40 years. His influences are (to name a few) Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Allman Bros., BB and Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Carlos Santana. Dave has been known to catch lead fever. Once you have heard his searing solos you too may catch the fever. He recently retired from the Carpenters Union. He now has more time to spend playing music and spreading the fever. |
