Dave Johnson

Performing solo or with the trio, Dave's venue's stretch from coffee houses to pubs, festivals to the subway, and everything in between. Through his shows, he strives to give his audience a sense of who he is, and why he makes the music that he does. With a sound that varies from mellow acoustic compositions and groovy reggae melodies to electric funk and old and new covers, one can always expect to experience the jam-oriented philosophy that the band holds towards its art.

A home-grown artist from Central New England, Dave Johnson has been performing live since early 2001. This early stage brought in the percussive and vocal insight of Tim Scott. The duo covered much of New England in the few years that followed, finally welcoming Joe Renzoni on various instruments to round out the group in mid-2004. As a veteran of the Massachusetts music scene, Joe has brought a seasoned and exotic vibe to the trio’s sound, matched against the laid-back groove that has become the staple of the Dave Johnson sound.

In early 2007, Dave will be independently releasing his first full-length album entitled Mordecai. An album in the true sense of the word, the project walks the path of self-discovery, boasting a range of subject-matter nearly as diverse as it’s eclectic arrangements. Mordecai brings together several years of life and songwriting and offers the listener a context for everyday life.
