Dave’s
exuberant soul shines on, Off The Beaten Path, which
he wrote while experiencing a big life change, moving from
his LA hometown to Northern California. He crosses a number
of musical boundaries on this CD, bringing into the smooth
jazz orbit a twinge of the pop acoustic style, while managing
to put his increasingly recognizable stamp on every tune.
Dave explained at the time of the release; ”This album is
an outgrowth of my personal experiences. I've made significant
changes in my life since I wrote my last album… I've taken
some time to re-evaluate and re-fill the creative well. I'm
now in my 30's and I'm focusing on having a life outside
of my career and that has had a positive impact on the music
I'm writing.” Dave worked with Thom Panunzio, (Aerosmith,
Bruce Springsteen, U2, Tracy Chapman, Tom Petty) and brother
Jeff. Dave’s upbeat soprano sax blends beautifully with the
accompanying acoustic and electric guitars, all of which
give anyone a reason to rejoice and follow Dave Off The
Beaten Path towards his ever-rising star.
