Hello! I am David Dove and I am a gigging electric/upright bass player for several genres, a band leader/organizer, educator, studio musician, and composer. I have had the privilege to play several types of venues from small clubs, weddings, churches, festivals, and even US tours. Currently I am playing with High Street Baptist's Worship Team, Jazz bands (trio-large ensemble), a progressive metal group, and a country rock artist. As a Missouri State Jazz Performance student, Hoover Music private instructor, as well as playing in the local music scene for over a decade; I have made many connections to be able to play your next event!
David and two other musicians came down, set up, and played for our Gala fundraiser. They were easy to work with and my played great! Set up was easy and quick. They played music that we discussed. Dressed appropriately. And You'd never known they were there after they cleaned up. We can't wait to hire them again!

David is always prepared, professional and easy to work with. He is an amazing person and musician. I highly recommend him for any gig!
Possibly the most talented bassist I know. Completely comfortable in all musical situations and excellent at mixing in to the tone, energy, and flow of the group.
I hired David for a company event. He learned the songs, was fun to work with, and was extremely professional. I would 100% recommend him for your gig or event.
David and the jazz band did an incredible job! Just what I wanted for the event. They filled the room and set an incredible atmosphere! So great to work with! Can't wait to book them again!
I have worked with David on multiple events over the years, in multiple genres. On top of his talent and versatility he always brings something even more priceless to the table. His attitude! He doesn't just show up to a gig and play some songs. He cares about your event, and does whatever he can to make it a success. He puts his heart into every show. Attitude is everything when looking for musicians to work with. And David has the one you want on your team.
David Dove is one of the best musicians I personally know and I highly recommend him!
