Dave Garland
Dave Garland, singer songwriter from the Pacific Northwest, provides a soulful mix of rock, blues, pop, and country. Writing songs that make you feel intense emotion, weather happy, sad, or sexy, is at the top of his agenda. The ability to become one with a variety of vocal styles, has given him a broad base of tonalities to work with. As an accomplished guitarist, keyboardist, composer and producer, he can take a song from start to finish. This has opened the door of exploration, into a songwriting journey. One that has kept the fire burning for over twenty years. Writing lyrics and music from a very early age, Dave Garland found his passion in music.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I toured the club circuits extensively in the 90's while in college. I got kind of burned out on that whole scene. Currently operating two businesses, just trying to find the time for writing and recording. I am however available for solo piano and vocal performances, mostly Billy Joel, Elton John, and original material. Currently playing fingerstyle guitar (Chet Atkins), in several local venue's, on a very occasional basis. Mostly all original fingerstyle compositions. I have been a bit of a loss for lyrics lately. If you write lyrics, drop me a line.
