   About Flipper Dave

Flipper Dave Returns To Camp Creek!

Northwest Connecticut's Original Jam Band

Flipper Dave is Brett Connors on guitar and vocals, Glen Nelson keyboards and vocals, Mike Sherman on bass guitar, and Steve Battistoni on drums. Hailing from New Hartford CT, and founded by Brett Connors in 1994, Flipper Dave has been performing original jam rock from Maine to Colorado. Inspired by the likes of Jerry Garcia, The Allmans, and Max Creek, they have released three CDs, "Flipper Dave", "Too Cold", the classic "Something Simple", the Jägermeister-sponsored live collection "Ransom Notes", and several national Jägermeister CDs. Through the years, Flipper Dave's Connecticut-based following has remained large and loyal. The band members have explored other musical directions (Shortness, Spaghetti Cake) but the musical heart of Flipper Dave has never stopped beating. These veteran artists and extremely close friends describe their music as "road of life rock", playing blisteringly high-energy sets infused with catchy choruses, infectious grooves, astounding musical pyrotechnics, and hooky alt-country anthems about drinking, debauchery, loneliness, loss, love, road trips, and oh yeah, your first minibike. Flipper Dave is more than just a band; they're a family. Brett's music is more than just an ideal; it's a way of life.

album coverFLIPPER DAVE: Something Simple

'Something Simple' is 15 mint original jam rock tunes written by CT guitar legend Brett Connors and his incendiary touring band.

Buy the CD

'Something Simple' catches the band in the studio in 2002 at their peak, with hooky alt-country anthems about drinking, debauchery, loneliness, loss, love, road trips, and oh yeah, your first minibike. The relentlessly crafted set of fifteen tunes included on 'Something Simple' are the result of five years touring of the New England bar and festival scene for this legendary Connecticut jam band. Newcomers to the music of Flipper Dave and lovers of jam rock will rejoice and be blown away by the epicness contained herein. A six-panel gatefold of photos showcases the band though its many stages, in music, in life, on the road, and in the studio.

'Something Simple' is a musical milestone, and is a true northeast jam rock masterpiece. Guitarist Brett Connors wrote and sang all but one of the songs on the disc, and they are tried and true rock anthem classics. If you love great vocals, addictive hooks, and ridiculous country-rock style jamming, check out Flipper Dave. If you've never had the opportunity to enjoy this vibrant and enduring jam band, you are in for a treat.

Click here to listen to "Guitar Hero"

Spaghetti Cake's latest single "Guitar Hero" is by far the band's most rocking anthem about the fire, the passion, and the power of your first guitar hero, your first real record, and your first real guitar.

Dear friends,

It would mean the world to me and everyone invovled with the creation of this tune is you could spare a minute and .99 to purchase our new single. Click the link and give it a listen, it's not for kids only! If you are inclined, we would also love you forever if you could leave some positive feedback about the song.

We hope that you love our new single!! See you guys at Veteran's Park in Watertown, CT June 24th!!
