Dave Garner is a prolific singer songwriter based in Sydney. In the vein of Kevin Welch and John Hiatt, Dave’s albums are a collection of part musical novella and part autobiography that gets you feeling the joy, struggle and rapture of the characters and the artist.
In 2000 Dave released his first album “Nothin' In The Rearview”. A collection of songs showcasing his skill as a songwriter, guitar player and singer of an emotional depth that many people can relate to, "Rearview" was supported by many live performances in premier Sydney venues. These performances cemented what listeners came to know of Dave's ability both as a writer and a live performer. As a live act Dave has headlined his own shows as well as opening for Australian and International acts such as Peter Sarstedt, Mick Thomas (Weddings Parties Anything) and blues legend Chris Wilson. In 2004, "Rearview's" follow up "One Degree Of Separation" was musically a departure from the raw sound captured on Rearview. With often sparse arrangements and loop laden textures, One Degree furthered Dave's songwriting credentials. It also crystallised producer and engineer Bruce Williams as a meaningful, vibrant and essential element to Dave Garner's sound.
Together the collaboration between Dave and Bruce (founder of audio2u.com) saw the release of Dave's third album “Hard Road Home”, it is a return to the organic, punchy and charismatic roots sound that his live shows are renowned for. Dave has also recently composed the score for the critically acclaimed the independent film “First Stop Iowa” a documentary by John Barron capturing the importance of Iowa in the 2008 US election.
