Expect a very good attitude with great creativity and flexibility. Keep in mind I am a vocalist and percussionist as well. I do have my own P.A., amplifiers and mics. I am a great entertainer and can be as aggressive or low key as you need me to be. I have a good amount of experience in the recording studio.
Dave Bautista (AKA..Blues Wave Dave): 30 years of experience with Harmonica, vocals, percussion; Dave assembled the Keemazul band in 2012 and prides his group in being reliable and professional ((link hidden)). Dave has recorded with Dave Hidalgo (Los Lobos), Taj Mahal and Los Cenzontles. Dave has played at a number of venues both in Northern California and Southern California including, BB Kings Universal Studios, Harvelle’s in Santa Monica, Hyatt Regency San Francisco and Yoshi’s in Oakland. I am look to synergize with other bands and artists. You will find me very flexible as well as being a great listener with a minimal ego.
That's the nice thing about working with me. I am easy....depending on the venue....at worse, somebody has to mic me up.
