About Me

Please click HERE for information on keyboardist David aul.
Thanks for visiting my page. This is the myspace page for Cincinnati keyboardist David Faul. I'm currently playing keys and organ in two, diverse Cincinnati bands. My own jazz/funk group Anderson Rhodes Trio and rising country act Dan Varner.
I've recently re-located back to Cincinnati after spending 10 years studying and shedding jazz piano in Half Moon Bay, northern California. I'm extremely fortunate to now be playing with some of Cincinnati's most seasoned and talented musicians and I'm having a great time. This town is filled with real talent spanning all genres from jazz to country. Usually playing live with Dan Varner, Kelly Evans, Jared Manker, Chris Walker, Brad Kelly, Ry Stephenson, Clark and Big Whiskey, Chase Blowers.
I'm the owner of Apple Hill Project Studios which servers as home base for all my recording needs. The studio is available for use for other musicians looking to record their project. For more information on Apple Hill Project Studios please visit my home page listed above.
Anderson Rhodes Trio is a Cincinnati based jazz and funk trio. Depending on which night and venue you'll hear be-bop and straight-ahead jazz arrangements to funk and groove heads. We function as a classic jazz piano trio or classic organ trio. Bassist Jared manker switches between bass guitar and electric guitar depending on song. Pianist David aul switches over to bass keys when Jared is on guitar. Chuck Sengo and Ry Stephensen, two of Cincy's tightest drummers, sit way deep in the pocket.
