Dave Olson - bass, vocals
The musical journey of Dave (aka Dr. Bass) began when he started piano lessons
at the age of 5, with his mother faithfully taking him down to the church every
night after school to practice on their piano. Dave continued taking classical
piano lessons until high school, when he started playing in the jazz band on both
keyboards and trumpet (not at the same time, however). In college, Dave bought a
used electric guitar from a friend for $20 and began his work on the stringed
instruments. Dave bought his first bass from a fellow graduate student in 1999, and
the rest is history. Originally self-taught on the bass by playing along to some of
his favorite bassists Phil Lesh and Mike Gordon, Dave has since studied under bass
extraordinaire Kai Eckhardt of
Garaj Mahal.
