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". |
