Born in Aurora, Illinois, Dave spent his extra-curricular time at the University of Illinois learning banjo. One year after he started, he was out playing gigs.\u00a0 His first ensemble was a group called Giblet Gravy.\u00a0 Some of the members split off with Dave to form The Bluegrassholes which fell apart due to other members differing sense of priorities (i.e.finishing school). \u00a0Dave decided that he needed to move to the Northwest in order to hone his banjo playing and was eventually drawn to Boulder, Colorado\u2019s acoustic music scene.\u00a0 Yonder Mountain String Band has created further opportunities for Dave to stretch out on the banjo and become an even more progressive and improvisational player.\u00a0 Dave\u2019s goal is to become an ambassador of acoustic related music as well as a respected player within the strict bluegrass idiom.<\/p>\n
