DAVE HUDDLESTON
Dave Huddleston is a lifelong student and lover of music. He is known
locally as a vocalist, guitarist, and bassist. Born in Washington, DC,
and raised in Cleveland, Dave grew up in a musical family and was
exposed to a variety of music genres -- from Saturday Metropolitan Opera
radio broadcasts, to Broadway musicals played on the family hi-fi, to
pop tunes squeezed out of a tiny transistor radio tuned to WIXY 1260-AM.
His influences are all over the map -- Bach, Artie Shaw, Elvis, the
Temptations, the Beatles, Ella, 1960s TV themes, Gaetano Veloso, Chaka
Khan, U2, the Bee Gees, the Isley Brothers, Frankie Valli, Ennio
Morricone, Buck Owens. Dave sees every song and every gig as a chance
for exciting explorations, always with an element of surprise.
