Dave, or Bruzza as he’s better known, has been in love with music since he was born. Raised in Michigan on records his mother and father owned, including The Beatles, Willie Nelson, and Leon Russell to name a few. Starting around 1986, he would put headphones on and play drums along with his favorite records, as time went on he developed a taste for bluegrass music, and as the joke goes, he said “If I’m gonna play guitar, I’m going to play bluegrass guitar.” From that point there was no turning back. With his friends, Mike Bont and Paul Hoffman, they began to learn how to play bluegrass. From open mic’s to parties, and in Bont’s basement inKalamazoo,MI, they developed together. Greensky Bluegrass was born. Here and now, Dave has also come into his own as a solo performer and collaborator when not on the road with Greensky. He now makes his home inDenver,Colorado, look for more solo performances and collaborations in theRockyMountainregion during breaks in Greensky’s touring schedule.
