I was born in DC and moved to Rockville when I was 10. I have lived in MoCo my whole life other than 4 years out of state for college. Being local means supporting the burgundy and gold, good times and bad times. And we are finally experiencing the good times.  I am very proud of the talent that has come out of Montgomery County in politics, sports and the arts. For instance, I was good friends with Darren Star growing up.  I got back into music 11 years ago sitting in with a friend’s band. That is why I always try to pay it forward by letting others sit in with me. As a vocalist, I was first impressed with the harmonies of the Beach Boys and CSN and the raw talent of singers like Elvis, Roy Orbison, Ray Charles, James Brown and Otis Redding. With my band InToneNation I always like to finish with the song I think kicked off rock and roll, Johnny B Goode.

The other Dave grew up in NJ where he played in bands growing up. He moved to DC a few decades ago and retired from working at the VA. He was a member with me in the band InToneNation for about 5 years. We always harmonized well together so Pair O’Daves came naturally.
