Dave Rave is a musician’s musician. To the general public, he’s the manic Teenage Head rhythm guitarist who graduated to lead singer and catapulted the band back into the charts; but musicians know him as a valued session player (Daniel Lanois, Andrew Loog Oldham, Alex Chilton, and countless others) who can play the best version of a song he’s never heard.

Often referred to as a Canadian Nick Lowe, Dave was the first North American artist to sign to Russia’s Melodiya record label and recorded Valentino’s Pirates in 1989 as The Dave Rave Group. They were originally known as the Dave Rave Conspiracy but this name was changed to appease cold war era Russian sensibilities. Press surrounding this release included a CBC documentary revisiting Russia with the group. This was followed by the next Dave Rave Conspiracy album, Three Octave Fantastic Hexagram with former Washington Squares player, Lauren Agnelli. Lauren and Dave formed an incredible creative partnership that resulted in 3 Agnelli & Rave albums over the next ten years and continue a song writing partnership that flourishes to this day..

Media continually notes “his sharp pop intelligence means the songwriting is of high standard.” Dave continues to produce incredible music in a wide variety of genres from jazz to folk to rockabilly to punk, including his well received jazz album, Another Side Of Love, recorded with Mark McCarron and released in 2002 on the Bongobeat label. But it is Dave’s pop sensibilities and his devotion to making music that is honest, intimate and real regardless of whether he touches you with smiles, tears or the occasional urge to pogo in your living room.

Dave’s latest album, Everyday Magic, on the Bullseye label will do just that. Dave spends his time playing live, producing, writing and coming up with more ideas to bring great musicians together for the purpose of entertaining themselves and the masses. One example is The Grand Song Caravan, the tour he is currently on supports his music as well as the music of others and that exemplifies all that Dave stands and strives for in music. Paul Hyde (Payola$, Rock & Hyde), US Singer-Songwriters Joe Mannix & Kate Schrock are just a few of the people Dave toured with in 2015. Press interest is picking up with many upcoming appearances in television, radio & print. Touring in Canada and the US continues with Dave also realizing his dream to play the Cavern Club in Liverpool in October 2016. Dave has also appeared on the new Beatles Tribute album, It Was Forty Years Ago Today, singing with The Wretches in their rendition of "Here Comes The Sun." Listen out for Dave’s second single, the title track from Everyday Magic featuring The Trews and Gordie Lewis from Teenage Head.

Tracks from Everyday Magic are currently playing in Canada, France, the U.S. and even Siberia
