The Dave Lynch Group - Jazz in many flavors

About Me

The Dave Lynch Group is about our lives, how we have grown up and become the musicians we are. We express ourselves freely through this art and strive to reach our innermost emotions, simple or complex, through our skills, knowlege, technique, wisdom or lack of it, and raw passion. We really just love to write and play our butts off. I hope you enjoy the music as much as my friends and I have enjoyed creating it. All of the music you hear on this page is original and self produced, except Ana Maria, which is a Wayne Shorter tune, and a tribute to him as he's had such a huge influence on my spirit. You'll find us in Sacrameto at Guitar Workshop at 3248 J Street, Sacramento. 916-441-6555. www.GuitarWorkshopOnline.com The Dave Lynch Trio ~ RiffRaff Blind Date can be sampled and purchased right here on the SnoCap spot!!! Download any of my tunes, or get a CD at www.MusicDistributors.com ~~~ Live well, care for those around you and tell the special people in your life you love them. Someday they will be gone and with them, that opportunity to share. Namaste, DavePS, Due to the national and international situational mess, I have decided to run for US Congress as an Independant candidate for the 2008 election in District 5 of California. See www.davelynchforcongress.org for more details. Thanks!
