“It’s one thing to be in a band and play other people’s music, but it’s way cooler to be in a band that features a front-man who is also a non-stop songwriter. Dave Mensch and Formula 151 are constant professionals, and their confidence and presence really shows whether they’re on-stage or playing live on the radio." - KDUR Public Radio
“Dave’s songs are refreshing and easy to listen to. I remember when I first heard Dave perform, I thought his voice had a similarity to Creed’s lead singer Scott Stapp, but Dave has the ability to take his vocals to a level that surpasses most.” - KPTE – 99.7FM (American General Media)

Bio
Dave Mensch & Formula 151 as a band defies traditional classification, but is revered as an exciting and musically complex band that, with its compelling music, Menschs intoxicating vocals and the bands genuine spirit on stage, has won over countless fans that span multiple generations. Echoing influences of Dave Matthews, Incubus, Staind, Matchbox Twenty and Bob Schneider (whose songs, among others, they cover in live performances), Dave Mensch & Formula 151 is uniquely from the mind of Mensch.
Mensch, whose elegance on stage and warm, personal rapport with audiences, has made him a favorite on stage, looks to record his first solo CD during 2009. His songs, most with introspective lyrics enhanced by intricate guitar arrangements, also adroitly make the jump to the edgier, acoustic rock sound of the full Formula 151 band.
