Dave Logan

The Dave Logan Band came together in January 2010, originally as a trio featuring Ron James on drums and Tim Hogan on bass, both long-time veterans of the Flagstaff, AZ music scene. With the addition of guitar and mandolin juggernaut, Brad Bays, in February, the music and live shows began to mature and develop into the high-energy, musically diverse performances for which the band has become known and locally celebrated. With musicians each having roots in differing genres, including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and country, the band has come together to create an eclectic sound which has earned them fans from a variety of quarters. From tender love songs to funky, rhythmically-charged acoustic rockers, from deep-down, sexy grooves to “kick-out-the-jams” Americana, the Dave Logan Band weaves a musical soundscape that keeps both the attentive listener and the dancing crowd equally satisfied. “As much as I enjoy creating and recording songs, it’s the live performance that is at the heart of the musical experience for me. Very few moments in life have brought me such profound joy and excitement as those magical moments that can happen while performing with other musicians. That’s why we love improvising on stage and just allowing the music to develop right there in the moment with no clear idea on where it will take us. It’s that sense of adventure that can take that same old song to great new heights and reward us in different ways each time we play it. It’s pure magic. And I’m addicted to it!” And Logan’s palpable enthusiasm and love of music is evident each night as he bounces around the stage, stomps his feet and grins from ear-to-ear, exuding an infectious stage presence that’s impossible to ignore. “How could it NOT be fun? I’ve got some of the most talented musicians around backing me up and making me sound good. It’s a blessing. And it’s the most fun I’ve ever had!”

In less than a year, the band has managed to forge an impressively cohesive sound that has been attracting a steadily increasing fan base in their native state of Arizona. They will be hitting the touring circuit in 2011 in support of Outside Looking In, the debut full-length release. Dave will also be self-releasing a live, 5-song EP this winter featuring a recent solo, acoustic performance opening for Colin Hay this past October. Dave has also had the pleasure and privilege of sharing the stage with Taj Mahal, Brandi Carlile and Colin Hay.
