Dr. Dave is one of the most popular high-energy performers in Florida. Dr. Dave recently received the Reader's Choice Favorite Band Award from two Florida newspapers. His self-titled CD, on which he played all the instruments, and his new CD release, "BIG FISH - SMALL POND," have been extremely popular. If an instrument has a string on it, Dr. Dave can play it. In his dynamic high-energy show, the "Doctor" plays multiple guitars, electric fiddle, banjo, harmonica, and more while backed up by his "rockin" band. Dr. Dave's vocals are exceptional and extremely versatile to match the great diversity of his musical styles. Dr. Dave describes his music as "CountryGrassRock." Picture country-rock on steroids with an infusion of bluegrass banjo and fiddle. Dr. Dave has been the feature act at many major festivals, fairs, corporate events, and clubs, as well as performing at concerts with national artists such as Rick Derringer, The Greg Allman Band, ToTo, The Marshall Tucker Band, Cheap Trick, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Barbara Mandrell. If you like high-energy music from a star quality performer, you will love Dr. Dave!
