SMACK DAB BIOGRAPHY: Smack Dab was formed by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David John in the summer of 2007 and plays primarily in Northern California. Smack Dab has been described as a highly energetic band with a wide array of talent and outstanding performance style highlighted by technical excellence with well crafted musical arrangements. They perform original interpretations and outside-the-box arrangements of popular and classic covers as well as many original selections. The band plays clubs, events, corporate parties, festivals, bistro and coffee houses, fairs, and weddings from 2 person acoustic shows to 7 person full band and from rockin country to classic rock and blues.
