Dave Badilla
upcoming shows
Dave is available to perform as a solo act, duo, trio or larger group, including the
recently formed "Dave Badilla Band", a group of seasoned professional musicians
from other bands Dave has worked with in the past. On any given gig, you will hear a
mix of music, from country to Motown, rock and roll, and everything in between.  In
addition to his regular bands, Dave also performs with local bands such as “The
Fundudes”, “Somebody’s Uncle”, “The Hot Rods Band”, "Chico and the Band" and
others on an “as needed” basis.

In September 2007, Dave began working with local Bammy winner Michael Hanna
as part of the duo “Hanna Banana” (
www.HannaBanana.com) performing for
children’s events with a repertoire of songs children can sing & dance along to, and
songs from the past that parents know and love. An interactive duo, children are
encouraged to “sing it out” while Dave and Michael mix and match guitars,
mandolin, harmonica, bass and banjo.

In the final weeks of 2006, Dave laid down guitar tracks for a song on “Guitar Farm
2”, a follow-up album to “Guitar Farm” which features nationally and internationally
known guitar players such as Dave Meniketti & John Nyman of Y&T, Stef  Burns, Brad
Gillis, Jim Ziegler, Tommy Castro, Dave Jenkins (from Pablo Cruise), the great Steve
Morse, Pat Thrall, Peppino d’Agostino, Mike Varney, Jim Bedford, Charles Sedlak
and Steve Woolverton. Still in production, the album release date has not been set
yet.
