Dave has played guitar since age 13 (that was a long time ago), and mandolin since age 23 (also a long time ago). Raised on rock n' roll, Dave found his way back to the 78rpm era country, jazz and blues of the old, weird America by connecting the dots backward from his guitar hero influences. A veteran of rock, folk, psychedelic, avant-noise, Cajun, bluegrass, and country bands, Dave is knows his musical history, but is irreverent enough to avoid mere imitation. Dave moonlights in the Quickdraw String Band, as well as Whitewing, and has played in Bellingham acts Feed & Seed (bluegrass), and Hoss!! (honky tonk). Dave moved to Bellingham in 2002 after four years in Portland, and is a native of Buffalo NY.
