His passionate singing lets the audience know just how much the music matters to him; it is astonishing to watch him weave his talented playing and singing into a singular act. Whether he’s on or off the stage, Dylan always plays for keeps. DAVID: Bass/Vocals David holds a reverence for the bass guitar that is truly rare.
