Dave Wilbur: Bass, backing vocals, 1 Handed Keyboards, Band Smart-Alec

Dave has over 20 years playing experience on the bass and the guitar. In his musical career, he has been a member of, or free-lanced for, reggae, progressive rock, pop, top 40, swing, salsa, country, folk, bluegrass, heavy metal, punk, be-bop, and big bands. If you can think of any other genre, he's probably had a chance to play it, too. (Except death-polka. He's still anxiously waiting on that call...)

Though he prefers backing you up, Dave is quite a singer himself. He has been doing professional recording sessions as a singer since 1994, appearing on various albums in a variety of musical styles, many of which have received national airplay on ESPN and national radio. His professional voice-over work (spoken words, funny voices) includes recording for various best-selling video games for Sony Playstation, PS2, Nintendo and N64, instructional CD-ROMs and nationally aired radio spots. And, yes… he is the “hot dogs” guy from the Freeway Mazda commercial. To see one of Dave’s more successful bands, you can check out www.partytrain.com for more info.
