Dave Bio
I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.
—James Taylor
I started singing, playing guitar, and songwriting when I was 14. My first song was about an old sailor, looking out at the sea; talking to a young man about his life.
Over the years; I’ve recorded, played more live gigs than I can count, and written a ton. I’ve had the privilege of playing with some truly gifted musicians along the way; people who have filled stadiums and people who have played in small town coffee shops. I write songs to point people to Jesus. That’s really my passion, worshiping Him. The music I write and the life stories I tell flow out of that passion.
