Dave Brandwein is a drummer, originally from Chicago, who spent 4 years in Los Angeles, CA and has now relocated to Nashville, TN. With 25 years of experience behind the kit, both live and in the studio, he approaches every gig with a love for playing great songs. Dave's current main gig is with pop artist Forest Blakk (drums/playback) with whom he played a 2022 theater run supporting Dean Lewis, various fly dates/festivals throughout the same year, and headlining US/Canadian tours in 2023. Dave has also spent the last 12 years playing drums, running playback, and doing session work for various other artists. In 2024 and beyond, Dave is looking to continue touring the world and diving into the studio with as many great artists/bands as possible!
