- About:
Coming from a family line of
professional musicians, at an early age Dave Percell recognized that he also had
a God given gift of music. At the age of 10, Dave began to play guitar and later
learned the bass. Growing up listening to gospel, soul, pop, and rock influenced
his initial style. Dave started to play for local Washington D.C. based gospel
groups and studio recordings. In 1974, while in the studio a friend introduced
Dave to Jazz Fusion. He started to listen to artist such as Allan Holdsworth,
John Mclauphlin, and Return to Forever which included guitarist Al Di Meola.
These influences greatly changed Dave’s style of playing. He eventually moved to
California and continued to contour his technique. Dave was later asked to
record on his friend and Gospel recording artist Chuckie Perez’s CD. He was
asked to play a Spanish Flamenco style. During this project is where Dave fell
in love with nylon string guitar which took him to another level. Dave then
started to listen to Paco DeLucia. In pursuit of his signature style, he began
to combine Jazz Fusion improvision, with a Flamenco persuasion. His upcoming CD
incorporates these influences with fiery melodies, and funky back beat rhythms.
Dave is now prepared to share with you this God Given gift of music.
