Sweet Papa Dave

If the phrase "left it all on stage" could be summed up in one word, surely Sweet Papa Dave's Picture would be beside it in Webster's dictionary. That is exactly what the Nashville, Tennessee native does show after exhilarating show. Fronting a powerful three piece combo that pumps out an "in your face" brand of rockin' roadhouse blues fits him better than any blue collar uniform he has ever worn. The act has forged an ever increasing following with performances at the Tennessee Titans home games, B. B. Kings Blues Club, The Steel Horse Stampede, The Hot August Blues Festival and The W. C. Handy Blues Festival.Whether it's playing in a smoky barroom or performing at a festival in front of thousands, Dave's philosophy on music is the same. "I want to hit people square between the eyes with the truth. And the truth is that they came to this place today or tonight to feel something and I want to make them feel it".Sweet Papa Dave is an artist that has one foot in the past and the other in the future. At the same time he is eating up the present with a passion and an authenticity that will live on forever.
