blues and have been showcased via six
internationally-acclaimed solo album releases.

scheduled for release on Buzz Records on 18
November 2022. “Dave plays like he got his skin
turned inside out and pretty soon my skin was
inside out too listening and it was all good. That
boy bleeds for you – he a real down deep player
and a soul man…” Seasick Steve

her audience.
