Small town vibe, big stage talent.

In a sea of solo entertainers, Dave Lerbakken has cultivated a signature full-band sound with his outstanding vocals and versatile guitar work. His engaging personality and ability to play requests on the fly are reasons clubs, fairs, and festivals say he was “truly the best”, and “more than we dreamed of”.

His story begins with his first memories reaching his fingers up to reach the piano keys. Music lead him through high school and college on the trumpet and bass guitar. The bass allowed him to fulfill his MTV dreams of playing on big stages with bands like Journey, Whitesnake, and Boston. The guitar however has become one of his favorite instruments giving him the freedom to perform many more genres and immediately connect with his audience.

With goals to play as much music as possible, 2023 is looking to become a banner year of performances in both his event band and with the Solo Show.
