I always thought some major country or rock touring act might like to have a Doctor of Chiropractic/Bass player on staff! Any offers?
Silvertown was the name of a classic rock cover band, which performed all over LA and Orange Country, including The Wilde, Littlerock, Kelly's Pub, Scoreboards and the Alhambra Street Fair. Featured were excellent guitarists Alan Stevens and Jim Beavors, as well as San Gabriel valley legend Mike Victory on drums and background vocals.
David kept the name because it had a country rock feel.
Dave is influenced by country in the vein of Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, Dolly Parton, Glen Campbell, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Merl Haggard, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, and Brooks and Dunn. Also older, country-rock music like Dan Hicks, Flying Burrito Brothers, Commander Cody, Jackson Browne, Neil Young and the Eagles.

I feel music is there to make our lives better - to get us through the stress of the day and week, to bring us together, to remind us to have fun! What is life without music? Not much fun if you ask me! And it's so great for me when somebody responds to my song and feels it in their heart - that's what it's all about.
