Coastal Dave

Thirty years of playing sits behind Coastal Dave, and it comes out as acoustic guitar, vocals, live loops and an underfoot stompbox, with the odd solo and some funky rhythm work. The songs run from traditional blues through J.J. Cale, Canned Heat, Buddy Guy and Leadbelly, into country from Colter Wall, Slim Dusty, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and Tyler Childers, then out to Paul Kelly, Cold Chisel, Tom Petty, Bowie, The Beatles and Pink Floyd. He starts chilled and builds if the room asks for it. Set up needs a space around 1.5 by 2.5 metres, and power is optional rather than essential. Based in the Tweed. Fully insured for public liability, with busking permits for several localities.
