The Dave Rawlinson Band

About Me


The Dave Rawlinson Band is all about Boomers and their music. The band enjoys performing music that baby boomers love: rock, country/rock, country/western and jazz/rock styles.


Although they perform some cover material, singer/songwriter Dave Rawlinson has crafted over 40 original songs in the last four years. Additionally, the Dave Rawlinson Band has released three albums on compact disc, “Workin’ Man” (December 2006), “Movin’ On” (March 2008) and "When She's Around" (2009). This new album has a decidedly "country and western feel."
Over the last two years, one of the sound engineers for the Kittitas County Fair, who has engineered approximately 18 top-ten country songs while working in Nashville, suggested that the band was a natural for the country and western genre. Additionally, our fans have been asking us to do more of this style. So we're responding to them in a big way.
This third CD harkens back to Dave's Texas roots, with solid performances by Dave on rhythm guitar and vocals, Bob Lupton on drums, Alexandra Rawlinson on vocals, Bob Pieters on electric guitar, Brandon Brooks on electric and steel guitar, Rachel Nesvig on violin, Heather McCrostie on fiddle, Clayton Kaiser on blues harp and Caspar van Haalen on bass guitar.
Dave has written several new songs for the album, including the anticipated hit "I Never Get Hurt (Unless She's Around)." You'll love this new sound from the band, whether you're a fan of their "Boomer Rock" sound, a lover of tried and true country music, or are interested in hearing the band perform more "roots" music. These songs are getting country radio airplay. Ask your local station to play our tunes.
