Dave Gerard & David Bailey have been creating music together for just over twenty years. They have performed in over 40 states across the country, and have worked together on countless full length recording projects and compilations. They are the core of Gerard’s three solo CD’s, Memory Hill, Losing the Boy, and his latest, Dreams of Kings. They have earned the title ’Best Duo” by Jam Music Magazine in their home region of New England in 2003, 2000, and & 1997.Their music puts them on club, concert and school stages from New England to Florida, west to Colorado, and to the U. S. Virgin Islands. The Dave’s create their own style from their love of New Orleans R & B, Pop, Blues, World Music, and Country-grass, to bring a well-rounded set of contemporary roots music to the stage. In acoustic settings, the duo has shared bills with international acts such as, Toots & the Maytals, David Lindley, Arlo Guthrie, and Tinytown (half of the Subdudes).

Juggling dual careers, they are also co-founders of the NH – based band  Truffle. As well as headlining respected venues across the country, playing as many as 275 shows a year, Truffle has shared the stage with Little Feat, Phish, The Band, Blues Traveler, The Radiators, and Dave Matthews Band to name a few. Truffle’s success led to the signing of a three album deal with November/Sony records. A large part of Truffle’s success has to do with the hard work, professional attitude, strong musicianship, and the passion for big fun of Dave and David.

Here on paper it’s easy to see their qualifications and experience. What is harder to express is your experience – the event of seeing these guys play. Performing outside the structure of the four piece band, their creativity is sparked; the realms of harmony and rhythm are approached with a freedom not often found in a small ensemble. Their twenty plus years of familiarity with each other as musicians and friends pull together in a way which is, at times, almost telepathic. It is better experienced than described. Enjoy!

“Gerard shows off his acoustic guitar mastery; with partner-in-crime David Bailey on bass, they supply just about all the musical sounds, melody, and rhythm, without even the remote need for drumming.” ~ Jam Music Magazine (NH)

“David Bailey’s bass playing is superb and brings depth and strength to Memory Hill.” ~ Northeast Performer (Boston)

“Dave is a master of acoustic-Americana with a voice to die for” ~ C-Ville Weekly (Charlottesville, VA)

“Dave Gerard, one of NH’s finest songwriters, has released his third solo album, Dreams of Kings. It is Gerard’s best of his three releases; which says a lot. “Tejanos Radio’ could be on any Dave Matthews Band release, and I love it!”
