About Us
Our Story
The image above is the Dr. Dave Band live at Van Wezel Performing Arts Center in Sarasota, Fl. The Dr. Dave Band is a high-energy "good-time" country and classic rock band that knows how to turn on a crowd. The band has received 5 Reader's Choice Awards. In the band's show, the "Dr." plays guitar, electric fiddle, and banjo. Dr. Dave describes the music as "Kick-Grass Country Rock." Picture country rock on steroids with an infusion of bluegrass fiddle and banjo. Picture the performance as a cross between Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Charlie Daniels, and Earl Scruggs. The band rocks with Siesta Key Lei on guitar, Tom Haack on drums and Phil Roth on bass. The DDB has been featured at major festivals, fairs, corporate events and clubs. The band has performed with national acts including Styx, Dave Mason, Trace Adkins, John Fogerty, the Outlaws, Rick Derringer, Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band. If you are looking for a show that will leave you energized and with a smile on your face - you need the Dr. Dave Band.
What Inspires Us?
Very Simple...... Music and "Making People Happy!" Dr. Dave remembers a time when he tried to quit music to have more time for other things. He says "I quit music, but it didn't quit me." "I found I needed it because it moves my soul and it gives me the chance to make people happy. If you have been blessed with the ability to make people happy through music, you just can't pass on that." He says, all the guys in the band just "LOVE" to play.
Kick-Grass Country Rock
Drummer Tom Haack puts the "Kick" in the "Kick-Grass" and Dr. Dave adds the "Grass" with his electric fiddle and banjo. Siesta Key Lei puts the "Rock" in the "Country Rock" and Phil Roth on bass creates the solid foundation for the whole thing.
Always Fun at a Dr. Dave Band Show
