David started playing guitar in 1963, after hearing his next-door neighbor and founding N.R.B.Q. guitarist Steve Ferguson jam out Lonnie Mack covers in his backyard. David formed the popular regional Rock and Soul group, Shadows of Tyme, in 1968. He and his roots/metal/rock and roll group Sinbad have released several LPs, EPs, and CDs. His album S.I.N.B.A.D. was on the California based indie label Azra International (Overkill, Liege Lord, Intruder, Jag Panzer Axemaster). His solo releases Have Rock Will Travel, Ball Bustin' Guitar Rock!, plus two live EPs: Absolutely Raw (Nothing more. Nothing less.) and Absolute Rock (In the buff.), and the CDs: Rock Hard Rocker and Rock with Balls. His unique blend of '70s' guitar rock with an Elvis Presley-influenced groove has gained him an excellent reputation in magazines and radio stations worldwide.
