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 has most recently worked with pop artist Forest Blakk with whom he has toured to support James Arthur, James Blunt, and Dean Lewis - as well as playing two headlining tours of North America and various festival dates.
