Bio

Dave Turner is a singer-songwriter in the tradition of Elton John and Billy Joel but with some twists. Since discovering James McMurtry a few years ago, he counts him among his writing influences and sources of inspiration. Pandora finds similarities in Dave's music and the work of artists including Warren Zevon, The Gabe Dixon Band and Colossal Yes. Dave delivers strong melodies, a bold piano style, and soul-searching lyrics steeped in dark Americana themes.

Home is Asheville, NC.

Dave performs solo and in a variety of band formats. He began playing the piano at age seven and has written songs since grade school. Enamore
