About Me

Hi everyone, and welcome to my profile here on the beautiful and luxurious myspace.com. My name is Dave Leopard and I am a guitarist/songwriter from the upstate of SC. I have been performing live for many years throughout the region and am currently working on a new project that will hopefully be appearing in the local bars, clubs, and outhouses sometime in 2007.

I am also currently working on an instrumental project. My goal is to write and record enough material to release a full length CD in 2007. I will be writing and recording the entire CD in my home studio. I have worked on my recording skills for several years now and finally feel like I can make something that sounds very professional. Check out my list of influences and you will get a pretty good idea of what this CD will sound like.

In the coming days and months I plan to update this page often with new songs, pictures and even some unfinished pieces of music, just to keep things interesting. So be sure to check back often, and thank you for taking the time to listen to my music.
