Public experience includes: Clubs, banquets, weddings, parties, concert halls, outdoor stadiums, and civic centers. His range of musical styles include: Country, classical, southern/rock, jazz, new age, progressive, Motown and funk. Having played most of the east coast, St Louis, and as far west as Hawaii, he has amble road experience, as well as filling in on bass, keyboard, and backing vocals when needed. After finishing up a tremendous run with Frontiers - A Tribute to Journey and releasing his solo effort IdiotSyncrasy, Dave has relocated to South Florida.
