David
started playing String Bass over 38 years ago at the age of 12
(which doesn’t make sense when you do the math … he
says he’s 39). For 18 years David played
professionally and had the opportunity to work with many musicians
and musical styles and genres. David started his
professional career in Idaho with a Bluegrass Band. From there he
has worked with bands playing Folk music, Country/Country Rock,
50’s-60’s Rock and Roll, and Reggae. The last 5 years
of his professional career where the most musically demanding and
rewarding. David played string bass with a
guitarist/vocalist, a duo concentrating mostly on Jazz and
original tunes. In 1990 David made a career change and
entered college seeking a music teaching degree. While at
Idaho State University David earned scholarships playing with the
IUS Symphonic Band, Chamber Orchestra, and Jazz Band (21 piece big
band and 3 to 9 piece ensembles). David also played second chair
string bass with the Idaho State Civic Orchestra for two seasons.
Sadly, in ’94 David had to leave college due to serious
family matters and spent 6 yrs in California helping his little
brother run a family business. In 2000 David moved to New
Hampshire .
David is very involved with discovering
and developing musical Talent in our young people. He
owns and operates a music teaching studio called
“String Thing Music”. David is also
the Music Director for New Hampshire Independent School of Music.
You will frequently see David playing acoustic guitar, electric
bass and string bass for his better half, "The Lisa Young
Band".
