Dave Chappell, a Washington, DC native, is one of the most sought after and respected musicians in the area. For the last several years, he has won the Washington Area Music Awards (WAMMIES) for Musician of the Year, Rock Instrumentalist of the Year, and Roots Rock Instrumentalist of the Year. He has performed with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge, Johnny Johnson, and guitar wizard Danny Gatton. He can be heard frequently at area clubs such as JV's Restaurant, State Theater, the Birchmere, 49 West, Hank Dietle's Tavern, performing with DC area favorites Tommy Lepson and Bruce Swaim. And, from time to time, Dave plays with Johnny Neel from the Allman Brother's Band and Gov't Mule, and Redd Volkaert from Merle Haggard's Band.
We all know WILLIE BARRY from one of our favorite Rockabilly bands, the ROCK-A-SONICS, who are big hits whenever and wherever they play. Willie easily switches from Ricky Nelson's smoothness to Jerry Lee Lewis's wildness, and everything in between. Joining Dave's band on vocals, with Pete Ragusa on drums, John Previti on bass, Chris Watling on sax, be ready to enjoy a night of superlative music. WHAT A NIGHT!
