The music of local singer/songwriter David Molinari incorporates elements of folk, rock, and jazz, reflecting Dave's diverse musical background.  Dave himself is a multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, guitars, harmonica, you name it) which only adds to the delightful melange.

 

One of the distinctives of Dave's approach is the highly improvisational environment he fosters.  Any one of us might take things in a different direction at any point in time by changing the dynamics or the beat or the feel.  In fact, we'll hardly ever play a song the same way twice.  I love that!

Our audiences seem to like it too.  No matter how many times they've come to one of Dave's gigs, they know they'll always hear something fresh, created especially for them on the spot.  It's a bit risky -- we really do go out on a limb, and sometimes that limb starts to crack!  But many in our audience relish that thrill as they vicariously venture out there with us. 

 

In addition to the DMB, Dave also performs as a solo act, and most recently, in the cajun-influenced band, Creolization.  While I only play in the DMB, these other performances are equally engaging (visit Dave's website for more info).
