Dreadlock Dave is spreading a positive vibration through his grooving, acoustic, folkedelicfunkpop melodies while exploring a myriad of textural soundscapes. His styles range from one voice with a guitar to elaborate orchestrations performed with everything from ancient gourd instruments to the latest electronics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David has a long and varied musical background. David's love and interest of music spans almost all of his life from the beginning with a ukulele and piano lessons at age five to the high school band president excelling in both woodwind and brass instruments, through years at The University of Akron and Cuyahoga Community College studying jazz and electric bass as well as listening to his father play, sing and perform in Barbershop Quartets and Choruses for his first eighteen years and on. David has spent two decades devoting his time and energy to performing as many as 200 shows a year with a multitude of musical acts throughout Northeastern Ohio, at the same time creating an original sound for himself. David's current projects include being the bassist/vocalist for Waterband, an original “folkedelicfunkpop” Jam Band based in Cleveland, Ohio as well as Rebels Without Applause, a classic rock party band who have played in and around Cleveland, Ohio for over twenty years. Although David is well versed as a multi-instrumentalist & vocalist his passion is the bass guitar. David spends a majority of his time playing as a freelance bassist, instructing students in the art of the bass guitar, coaching rock school for all ages & composing and recording his original music. A new Dreadlock Dave release is scheduled for 2009. Stay Tuned!

"Hey, we all have a little hippie left in us, or at least we should: peace, love, personal integrity, respecting the earth, rejoicing in the simple pleasures make up an ethos that has come to be the object of knowing smirks in many quarters, but one, when actually lived rather than just invoked, is worthy of admiration and respect. Such is the case with Dreadlock Dave McDougald, from Waterband, an amazing and disciplined bass player and trained musician, who also happens to be my son's bass teacher. He's got some mighty impressive dreadlocks as well - very hemp!" ~ Eric Olsen @ Cleveland.com ~

Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Hitz has captured the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
I have attached a mini player for you to listen to a sample of the album. Let me know what you think of it.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
It seems that Christmas time is here once again, and it is time again to bring in the New Year. We wish the merriest of Christmas to you and your loved ones, and we wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. Yola
