Artist History Dave Askren, based in Los Angeles, California, grew up in Dayton, Ohio, where he was surrounded by music - his mother was a church organist and piano teacher. After playing piano, clarinet and saxophone at an early age, he discovered the guitar and began playing music professionally by age 15. After high school, Dave moved to Boston, where he attended Berklee College of Music and also studied privately with guitarist Mick Goodrick, pianist Charlie Banacos, saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi, and even drummers Bob Gullotti and Bob Moses. Dave was soon hired to teach guitar at Berklee. While on the East Coast, Dave also performed with a variety of recording artists, including drummer Bob Moses, saxophonist Antonio Hart, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, vibraphonist and jazz harmonica player Hendrik Muerkins, bassist Stuart Hamm, and even fellow guitarists Gray Sargeant, and Kevin Eubanks (who also lived in Boston before his “Tonight Show” fame). Dave is currently based in Los Angeles, where he has performed with artists such as singers Linda Hopkins, Marilyn McCoo, saxophonist Gary Foster, Tony Rizzi’s “Wire Choir” with Pete Christlieb, and “Rhubumba” featuring Bobby Shew and a hot Cuban rhythm section with Rigaberto Lopez on bass and Jimmy Branley on timbales.
