You can't throw a stone without hitting a pizzeria in Central New York and similarly trip over guitar players everywhere you go too (usually AT the pizzeria), but one axeman stands head and shoulders above the rest

(musically speaking anyway.)

Dave is the undisputed King of local guitarists and has played with just about every band that exists or has existed in the 315 and because of this versatility, he's the on call guy to sit in if a national touring act's guitar player goes down while rolling through town. He's THAT good and even more humble. I have yet to meet any musician, guitar player or otherwise who doesn't launch into admiration at the mere mention of his name. Want a taste? Here you go...

 

 

From Dave's Facebook page, concerning what you just watched...

"This is the music in my hands, my heart and my head..... I know that most of my friends have only ever seen me play other people's music, which I do dig, I truly love all music I play..... But this is really me.. Enjoy." - Dave

You can currently catch him playing in Gridley Paige and at least a dozen other projects all over the region and although we usually see Dave as a sideman in other's projects, he seems to be teasing an original project. Maybe he's just noodling and wanted to share, but we'll try and catch up to him soon to get the skinny on what he's got cooking.
