Dave and his musical cohorts (Eric Gunnison - Piano, Dru Heller - drums) will be exploring the Great American Songbook with a renewed approach to timeless songs with instantly recognizable melodies. This unique series will including songs from the same era composed outside of Tin Pan Alley but of equal importance and lasting influence.

Presented in the unique instrumentation of electric guitar, piano and drums, Dave says of the series: "this will not at all be floaty, ambient, free sonic environment lacking backbone. Nope, this band will be getting after it!"

Hailed as “Denver’s Guitar Guru” by Westword Magazine, guitarist, composer, and educator Dave Devine is known for his virtuosity as a performer, dramatic versatility as an artist. Devine’s recording projects have ranged from experimental jazz (momen terra, Static Trio) and chamber pop (Greybird, Delby L), to jazz metal (Hate Camels), ambient (Mountain Coast), and art rock (DOORS THAT DON’T).

Devine has also recorded and/or performed with Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band (Body and Shadow, Blue Note), John Grant and the Czars (Sorry I Made You Cry, Bella Union) Art Lande, The Barr Brothers, Chuck Prophet, Marc Broussard, Elliott Sharp, Ron Miles, Matt Wilson, Ben Goldberg, and Neil Halstead among others.
