Hello Dave was accidentally formed at Eastern Illinois

University.  Set on being a

veterinarian at the time, founder Mike Himebaugh learned to play the guitar and

thought that being a musician would be a lot more fun.  Their ‘Chicago Twang’ style soon earned

them many fans and they took their show on the road, playing all over the

Midwest, and the crowds can’t help but to get up and dance.  They still play about a hundred and

forty shows a year, but their big break came when they were featured on the

2009 Kenny Chesney Sun City Carnival Tour.  We caught up with the guys to see what makes them so

popular.
