About this event

The vintage-style master blows in... with a storm of American roots

Dorset-based Stompin’ Dave performs a broad spectrum of vintage-style music, including blues, bluegrass, classical, country, folk, jazz, and rock n roll. Stompin’ Dave was nominated for a UK Blues Award 2024 (UK Acoustic Blues Act Of The Year 2024)

“In other parts of the world they have cyclones, tornadoes and hurricanes, in the UK we have Stompin’ Dave. Dave is a phenomenal artist. A great guitar player and vocalist, an accomplished songwriter, and an excellent traditional fiddle, a boogie/blues piano player and a competition standard five-string banjo picker. As if that’s not enough, he is also an outstanding dancer using a combination of flatfoot and clogging styles, often when playing one of his stringed instruments.” Blues In The South

Dave has consistently given over one hundred performances across the UK and beyond, including some major ones such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, and Bestival. Dave has been billed as a headline performer at many events, including The Cornwall Folk Festival, National Banjo Day, and The Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival.

“Stompin’ Dave is a master of all kinds of American roots…a formidable musician & a true original.” The Daily Telegraph, “one of the world’s greatest performers.” Maverick Magazine. “Let’s face it, in adding the quality of his original material the man is a downright genius” Blues In Britain.
