DAVE'S NEW STUDIO ALBUM IS DUE OUT IN 2008 UNDER THE LION MUSIC LABEL."He's probably the finest guitarist to emerge from the European continent in decades and could well single handedly redress the international balance between Europe and the US." "Dave's debut '1990' is infinitely more pleasant on the ear than Vai's Passion and Warfare", just a few things the critics had to say about Dave Sharman when he thundered onto the international music scene.This self taught British guitar virtuoso's prodigious talent was discovered whilst still in his teens. Introduced to the world by legendary rock DJ Tommy Vance on the BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show, it wasnt long before a debut album '1990' was released worldwide. This fretboard monster has established himself as one of the top shredders of the time, but he is much more than that, belonging to a rare breed whose musicality extends to composing, song writing and even vocals.He has played on the Night of The Guitars II tour alongside other guitar legends and has four albums as well as numerous sessions to his name, which includes those with MTV and VH1.Dave has recently released two compilation discs featuring some of his most explosive work. He is currently working on material for the new album and he has also donned the cap of vocalist for the project. For all you lovers of unadulterated guitar indulgence, dont worry, nothing's been compromised and he's got all his old exciting tricks and many more! SO, WATCH THIS SPACE FOR NEWS AND DATES!To know more about this unique talent visit his official website: WWW.DAVESHARMAN.COM.

Sounds Like: PRESS REVIEWS:Dave Sharman, is for my money the best guitar player I have heard since Vinnie Moore and Sharman's debut, 1990 is infinitely more pleasant on the ear than Vai's Passion and Warfare. - PAUL MILLER, KERRANG MAGAZINE"He's probably the finest guitarist to emerge from the European continent in decades and could well single handedly redress the international balance between Europe and the US." - PETE PROWN, GUITAR FOR THE PRACTICING MUSICIAN (excerpts from an interview)Dave Sharmans 1990 is one of the most audacious and appealing rock guitar instrumental albums heard in a long time. Sharmans a true monster, and one of the best of the new breed. - BUZZ MORISON, GUITAR FOR THE PRACTICING MUSICIANHe has done well to avoid the pitfalls that so often befall the guitar-based artist, and with a concerted effort may yet rewrite the rulebook. - SEAN TYLER, KERRANG MAGAZINE
