In 2007, I was inspired by a whining 2-year old to write a simple song called "The Sound Of Me Ignoring You." It's so amazing to listen to my child's voice from all those years ago and remember what that little stinker was like! Give this one a listen, and try not to smile.

Dave here, I'm excited to announce that I am finally putting a band together to bring the 40+ songs I've written over the last 15 years to life in front of general concert audiences in the Detroit area and beyond. I've assembled a great core of musicians, including GIPC Band bassist and songwriting collaborator Godfrey Porter, former Raising The Dead drummer Joseph Waldecker, and pedal steel and organist Heinz Plaumann. Together with me on guitar and keyboards, we will bring my spirit-focused rock anthems to life.
