David now lives and works in Kampen, Netherlands Holland as a Chiropractor. He has treated many celebrities including Boris Becker, Stefi Graf, Ana Kournikova, and many Bundesleague stars. Dave played many gigs and recording session in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. David most recently played in LA with Silvertown, Roxx, Victims of the Fury (Robin Trower tribute project) and Stund of Orange Country.
Davis is a versaitile singer and bass guitarist who enjoys playing rock, blues, jazz and country. He was fortunate enough to study under the illustrious Jeff Berlin, who personally described Dave as a "great Bassist" (one of my life's great thrills). Dave has also played live gigs backing rap artists in LA which was especially fun and challenging. As the great Dizzy Gillespie said - there's two kinds of music, the good kind and the not good kind. It's all in your soul and talent, not the genre.
David is currently continuing to collaborate with great guitarist Alan Stevens of Los Angeles who currently plays with Chain of Souls. They are keeping the team alive through projects done at a distance but with as much soul and feeling as their gigs were always famous for.
Dave and bands played at many gigs including the Wilde, Scoreboard, Paladino's, Universal City's Tony Romas, the California State Fair, C Str. North (Sacramento), Pasadena's Olde Town pub, and many others.
