This is a man seeped in the history and tradition of his family and the land where he grew up. His father was a poet and some of Dave's songs are based on poems that he finds written on old scraps and shingles found laying around on his Dad's farm in Maine.
Playing frenetic acoustic guitar and mouth organ, he delivered a great set of songs that had us crying and laughing and singing along. So many of them seemed to speak - "Can't sleep at night, It's the artist in me!" for instance.
His delivery is obviously the product of years of playing - the guitar being played at twice the speed of the lyrics, and the mouth organ being sometimes snatched for just a couple of notes between lines.
A great night.
