Stompin' Dave
Stompin' Dave performs a broad spectrum of vintage style music including blues, bluegrass, classical, country, folk, jazz, rock n roll, and old time. He is equally capable of providing a whole evening of entertainment in one genre, or mixing it up.
"In other parts of the world they have cyclones, tornadoes and hurricanes, in the UK we have Stompin' Dave. Dave is a phenomenal artist. A great guitar player and vocalist, an accomplished songwriter and an excellent traditional fiddler, a boogie/blues piano player and a competition standard five-string banjo picker. As if that's not enough, he is also an outstanding dancer using a combination of flatfoot and clogging styles often when playing one of his stringed instruments." Blues In The South
Dave has consistently given over one hundred performances per year across the UK and beyond, including many major festivals such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, and Bestival.
Dave's vast repertoire ranges from traditional songs and tunes to vintage covers and his own originals. “Let’s face it, in adding the quality of his original material the man is a downright genius” Blues In Britain.
Although Dave often appears solo he does from time to time perform with a variety of different friends, including his own various duo and band lineups.
These include multi award winning drummer Sam Kelly, top rock n roll artist Earl Jackson, popular London based hoedown band Cut A Shine, and Lucy Piper "one of the UK's leading blues drummers" The Guardian. Dave is a former member of former UK Blues Band of the Year, The Producers.
