An accomplished veteran of the Pittsburgh, Midwest and East Coast music scenes since 1965, Dave counts The Beatles as his primary influence. His debut CD, "Mid-Century Man," will be release in late 2019. Dave's bands have released singles on Buddah Records ("I Hear You Knockin'" by BlueByrd, 1970) and Western World Records ("Boogie, Boogie, Boogie" by Pyewacket, 1973). His bands have opened for The Rascals; Chicago; The Allman Brothers Band; Bloodrock; Night Ranger and many more.He currently heads?? the Dave Molter Band, which will make its world premiere in August 2019. He also plays bass in the Danny Gochnour Band as well as with Bill Toms and Hard Rain. In the recent past he has played with Pittsburgh bands Johnny Angel & the Halos, the Paul Martino All-Star Band, and Mojo Jojo, a British Invasion-era cover band.
The songs on the "Mid-Century Man" CD will be an eclectic mix of styles reflecting the varied influences Dave listened to while growing up in the Sixties as well as world music, reggae, prog rock, psychedelia, Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, Peter Gabriel and many others. ??Recorded in Pittsburgh, PA.,?? "Mid-Century Man"?? is produced and engineered by multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Buddy Hall. The songs feature contributions from heavy-hitting, nationally known musicians such as guitarist and composer Steve Dudas, who played with Ringo Starr and The Roundheads for more than a decade and continues to record and write with the former Beatle. Virtuoso guitarist Reb Beach of Whitesnake and Winger also appears. ??Dave views "Mid-Century Man" as a vehicle to spread a positive message about the power of love in today's world. The songs have the unifying theme of love -- as Dave sings in "Mid-Century Man" -- "an emotion we don't have enough of." Says Dave, "It's all in there: first love; love lost; love squandered; love regained; stupid love; funny love; love unrequited; love that makes you want to scream from the rooftops. Love that makes you kick furniture. I mean ... doesn't everyone? ??"John Lennon said it best in 1968: 'All you need is love.' I still believe it."
