He loves various styles, including Rock, Blues and Folk. He's had many great sessions with different musicians throughout the years. Dave made Ohio his home in 1985. To quote Dave, "May the gods give us one more Saturday Night!" Dave loves to play!

Joy Hollon - Vocals & Keyboard

Joy is a singer/songwriter who has spent her entire life chasing the music muse. She started plunking around on an old upright piano at five years old and was hooked from there. She learned music in school bands and church choirs, by listening to her older siblings' records and by playing with local bands over the years. She spent several years with Hot Cargo and rocked with the Dayton garage band Therica. According to Joy, "I'm a free spirit inhabiting this energy field for the duration of my assignment. I find myself on a continuing quest to define my purpose, follow its path and remain true to the intuition that guides me...but, way down deep inside...I JUST WANNA ROCK!"
