Dave Gerard

Dave Gerard's music, his distinctive vocal style and guitar playing, puts him on club, concert and school stages from New England to Florida, west to Colorado, and to the U. S. Virgin Islands. Dave creates his own style from his love of New Orleans R & B, Pop, Blues, World Music, and Country-grass, bringing a well-rounded set of contemporary roots music to the stage. Juggling dual careers, Dave is also known as front man for the highly acclaimed NH - based band (Savoy) Truffle. In acoustic settings, he has shared bills with international acts such as Richie Havens, Steve Miller Band, Toots & the Maytals, David Lindley, Arlo Guthrie, Chris Smither, Pat Donohue, and Tinytown (Subdudes). He is sometimes joined in a Duo ensemble with long time partner and Truffle co-founder David Bailey on bass; as well as occasionally other members of Truffle too.
Solo shows provide Dave the freedom to improvise vocally and on guitar, taking liberties with song structures. Playing without a set list allows for a unique show at every performance and that's what you have to look forward to at Simple Gifts!
