   About Dave Sasscer
Hey everyone. I was raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, a small town on the west coast of the island. I split most of my time between playing guitar and hanging out at the beach. Yeah, it was a pretty sweet life.

I learned to write songs by listening to the Beatles and learned to sing by mimicking Bob Marley. Or maybe it was the other way around... Eventually I moved to the States and went to college in Atlanta where I started my first "official" band.

I moved to New York City after college and played in several bands before I decided to start performing as a solo artist. I've been here off and on ever since. We've performed at numerous clubs in NYC, including CBGB's (before it sadly closed), the Knitting Factory, Symphony Space, The Bitter End and The Red Lion. We've also played the Tribeca Film Festival and several songwriter circle events.

In 2008 I released my second CD, Quiet Mind, which is now available on iTunes, Rhapsody, CD Baby and everywhere else in the Universe that good music is heard and downloaded.

I have also uploaded demo versions of some new Spanish Rock songs that I recorded recently with some of the hottest Puerto Rican rock musicians on the island. Members, ex-members and collaborators of Flor de Lourdes, Calle 13 and Nirvana (not THAT Nirvana, the original one from Puerto Rico). I hope to have the full album completed with the Mojo Conga Jam sometime in Spring 2009.

Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hope to see you all at our shows. Peace... Dave

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
