Dave Corwin's music has been likened to David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and John Lennon with a tribal, progressive rock feel. Exotic percussion mixed with traditional rock instruments contributes to a truly unique sound. They’ve opened for Billy Preston, played at the San Diego Sports Arena, The Whiskey A-Go-Go and The Roxy. Their current show involves a huge array of exotic percussion fused seamlessly with an assortment of digital instruments and effects.
