“Great music man! Great tunes and such warm renditions. I love your musical universe … it’s so fresh and creative ...And keep the music fires burning bright. You know why? Simply because you can! And do it so well.”
Timeless cultures, contemporary sound.
The Dave Kline Band features Dave Kline (violin, electric violin, guitar, composer) - A distinct sound and goal:
The sound - blends the modern genres of rock, blues, jazz, funk and folk with the sonic palette of the world’s cultures. With high-energy, combustion, emotional impact.
The goal - inspiring a greater level of art and creativity in our world. Compositions, musicians, audiences, venues and the performance are all vital elements of music and recordings. One could credibly say the audience is the most important part of the show - the audience essentially co-creates the music and experience of the performance, attaining exhilaration for all.
Guest Artists with the band include French Canadian chanteuse Lynn Veronneau, Ken Avis from North of England on vocals, Zulf Baghirov from Azerbaijan on sax / clarinet and American Dan Paul on keys, Olaolu Ajibade drums, Jon Laine drums, Kurt Kratch bass.
