“I’m excited to get up to the Bay Area and play for a Northern California audience!”, says Lebental.“Over the years I’ve visited & checked out many shows in the Bay Area and I just love the vibe. It’s got a feeling that sets it apart from other places. Right now, I’m in a cool period in my life where I get to release the music I want and play shows in the places that inspire me.” Lebental’s backing band, The Driftwood Souls, is a talented crew comprised of drummer Bryon Holley (Isaac Hayes, Perry Farrell, Ruben Blades), saxophonist Dan Boissy (Macy Gray, John Legend, Fitz & The Tantrums), bassist Mick Linden (John Goodsall, Paula Cole, Wilton Felder), and Guitarist/Keyboardist John “JT” Thomas (Billy Sherwood, Toni Childs, Graham Bonet). You can count on a zenful set with jammed-out versions of Dave’s well-written songs.
About Dave Lebental:
Dave Lebental, a veteran rocker, made waves in the ‘90s LA Club scene, opening for ex-Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. Despite promising prospects and gigs alongside notable artists, his big break eluded him. A few months after a Mick Taylor gig, family priorities led him to trade rock n’ roll for a day job.
Fast forward 27 years, Lebental, now 62, found renewed creative spark as an empty nester. Exploring the modern music landscape, he embraced digital recording and social media, crafting his debut solo LP, ‘The Long Player.’ The 11-track album, influenced by James Taylor, Ryan Adams, The Eagles, Tom Petty, and The Beatles, showcases old-school analog performances with multi-track recordings.
Happy as an independent artist, Lebental seeks to connect with his audience. After releasing “Granite Meadow” in 2021, he unveiled his first full-length LP to a substantial online following of 38,000 on Facebook and 1,000,000 digital music fans. Performing with his band, The Driftwood Souls, and solo, Lebental’s upcoming tour dates and performances can be found at dlmusic.us.
