Last Chance Dave is: Kyle Harvey - Lead Guitar, Banjo, Piano, Vocals David Brooks - Vocals, Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Mandolin “This life is hell, but it's just as well.” Few statements regarding the life of an independent musician could be more true. And this sentiment penned by alt-rock/alt-country four-piece, Last Chance Dave is a bold realization for any budding musicians that want to dedicate their lives to creating music. Embracing this challenge has led Last Chance Dave to the second chapter of its musical journey…The band packed their bags and headed north from the swamplands of Louisiana to the crisp air of Tennessee, a move that is characterized by a desire to achieve greater things. Last Chance Dave made its debut in the Spring of 2001, playing clubs and parties in Baton Rouge, LA. The band developed a strong following with students at Louisiana State University, where they attended college, and their notoriety spread as the band expanded into the surrounding cities and states. While the miles accumulated, the number of fans and venues played multiplied. “No state can escape the exposure. We have played in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee. The goal is to add more cities and states to our list now that we are here in Nashville,” states lead guitarist, Kyle Harvey. Even though the band ventured farther away each time they played, the base back home was ever growing. Last Chance Dave has headlined shows at historic Tipitina's in New Orleans and The Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge. They also supported Art Alexakis of Everclear and national recording artists Ingram Hill and Steriogram. Success in the Louisiana music scene led to an increase in radio airplay as well. Last Chance Dave made it onto the playlists of several Baton Rouge stations including Rock 93.7 KOOJ, KLSU 91.1, and 104.9 KNXX. One DJ across the Atlantic liked the band so much he named his radio show after a Last Chance Dave song. Xtreme 1431 AM in Whales boasts the radio program “Tickle Me (Emo)” in honor of the band. But these achievements have not satisfied Last Chance Dave's musical aspirations. “Moving to Nashville has us more focused on the creative and professional aspects of playing music. I think we're writing better songs, performing with more emotion, and laying the ground work for a great future as a working band,” relates frontman, David Brooks. Last Chance Dave brings with them their solid full-length debut, Chin Up. It packs a versatility and energy that can keep any listener's head bouncing as well as thoughtful lyrics that add depth to an already impressive package. “We want to move our audience any way possible; be it on our records or on the stage. We'll do it anytime, anyplace” proclaims bassist, Nick Buttita. For Last Chance Dave, no time is better than now. And the place is Nashville.
