About Me:

Founding member of two of Atlantic Canada's  most influential bands:

Rawlins Cross -
Blending the music of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia with contemporary sounds, Rawlins Cross toured extensively both nationally and internationally from the late 1980s through the 90s.  Along with brother Geoff, Dave was the driving artistic force behind this band, contributing arranging skills and over half of the group's original materials.

Figgy Duff
Formed in the early 1970s and continuing in various incarnations up until 1993, "The Duff" changed the way Newfoundlanders approached their traditional music.  In this highly original and creative environment, Dave went from the provincial level to national and international acclaim while giving a driving instrumental presence to the music on mandolin, bass and guitar.
