plays music sometimes
“Happy Accidents” is out now on Spotify, Apple Music and most popular music streaming services.


Hello friends,
I’m really proud of this new album, it’s called “Happy Accidents”. I recorded it with Jeff Berkley in San Diego and had the pleasure of working with all sorts of wonderful musicians.
I’m going on tour in 2023 around the United States and Canada, so I’d love to invite you to a show. I don’t love social media, and I don’t want following me to be another reason for people to be on it, so I created an email list where I keep in touch with people, share new music, and let them know about new shows that are happening. You can sign up for it below.
Thank you for your support, I look forward to making more music for you and seeing you on the road.
Love,
Dave
you probably shouldn’t read my blog.
you’re still here?
well, let me tell you a secret
I spent many, many years
thinking that being a good musician meant
being like other “good” musicians
so I compared myself to my heroes
and tried to sound like them
and you know what?
I actually got pretty decent
at sounding like other people
but the problem with that
as you can probably guess
is I didn’t know who I was
so in 2020
I decided to go on a different journey
to figure out what I sound like
now instead of listening for how I’m like others
I’m listening for how I’m different
and that
has made all the difference.
