Dave Laurence

Singer-songwriter Dave Laurence has crafted an energetic blend of rock, pop, jazz, and country, sometimes infused with the dry humor from his New England roots, which he calls “Fun Acoustic Music.” While it may not fit neatly into any particular genre, Dave's music resonates well with audiences.

Dave started out as a bassist for several bands in his hometown of Portland, Maine from the late '70s through the mid-'80s. He began performing solo in 1987, with stops in Boston and Providence before moving to Oklahoma City in 1995. He then performed throughout Oklahoma and the Midwest, including appearances at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, before a hiatus in 2003.

Dave returned to the stage in 2012 and has not looked back, logging performances from Mexico to Maine. He has released three albums since his return, and is currently working on material for a new record. In 2022, Dave retired from his government job to pursue music full time.
