Biographies:
David Foster - Vocals and Guitar
David Blake Foster, a native Texan, started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 10, and grew up under the influence of Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and the Stones. He has played in various bands throughout his musical career including the band Wishbone, an original rock band out of North Carolina, which had some regional success. After Wishbone, David played many acoustic shows around NC. Then he spent 6 months in Seville, Spain, on sabbatical and laying down the tracks for his first solo CD called “Shine” which he released under the name David Blake after returning to Austin.
Dennis Livingston – Guitar
Born in Dallas, Dennis cut his teeth on a 1966 Fender Duosonic at the ripe age of 12 out in Sonoma, CA. Locking himself away for days at a time in a room painted black, he played until his fingers bled and then some. For years Dennis played jam band, free-form Rock ‘n Roll with anyone and everyone until he finally ended up kicking around with such Bay Area bands as the F#$%^&( Assholes, the Spun Cookies and The Dennis Livingston Blues Explosion.
Chris Neff – Bass
Chris remembers his father's record collection, how his life was changed forever by the smell of the Sgt Peppers album's cardboard, and oh yes, the music itself. In high school, emphasis on high, he would listen to Machine Gun over and over with his head pressed to his brother's speakers thus accounting for some definite hearing loss. Later he dropped out of San Francisco State University after hearing (or not hearing) Miles Davis' Live at the Fillmore. Chris has been playing ever since.
Scott Olsen - Drums
Drummer Scott Olsen describes his style as "heavy subtlety” (if there is such a thing). He is a veteran of many performing bands that featured former members of Frank Zappa, Journey, Whitesnake, Taj Mahal, and Ozzy Osbourne. "After years of playing gigs and venues in the San francisco Bay Area, it's great to be reunited in Austin with lifelong friends and musical compadres Chris and Dennis," Scott says. "Combine that with meeting and playing with a brilliant songwriter and musician like David makes this one of the best musical experiences of my life"
