About Me |
|
| Visit Me on Digital Rodeo and become my Neighbor! I had the love and appreciation of music engraved in my soul at a very young age. My father loved everything about music but couldn't play it himself so he shared his love with his kids. My father passed away when I was still a baby and my older brother took on the role of teaching me to appreciate music and to play guitar. At the age of 10 I was learning my first chords and soon my first song and I haven't stopped since than. Life has been a battle of ups and downs and I draw from that experience to write songs that I hope can be understood by all. Music has led me to where I am today and I don't foresee it ever leaving my side. After years of struggling back and forth with bands, home studios and a failed marriage, I finally found myself on Stage one night with Roger Alan Wade. He encouraged me to sing and nothing has been the same since then. One of his long time friends had me follow him to a local bar to see Roger after I just got done with a long 5 hour band practice. Within 15 minutes of walking in the door I ended up stage playing lead for another guy on Roger's break. After a few songs, Roger came up and announced my name and that I was gonna sing a song and I tried my best as he cheered me on. As I said before, nothing has been the same since and because of that night I have found myself making and writing better music. Roger has become a great friend and along the way I met and played with Randy Howard who also taught me a few things from his many years in Country Music. Randy is a great man and a greater friend and I am proud to have shared the stage with him several times. I've met and played with a few others along the way and always come away with new inspiration and a some new musical companions. Some call it paying your dues......and I still have a few to pay but along the way I hope to share my music with as many people that are willing to listen. Without them there is no reason to do it in the first place. Inspiration comes from all over and in it's own time....it can't be forced. But when it comes it is a beautiful thing and it has been with me a lot these days. Writing songs is what I do and who I am and singing and playing them makes me feel whole. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer..... Peace, David Allen Slater David Allen Slater is a Singer/Songwriter that puts his whole heart and soul into his music.

Music:Member Since: 9/11/2006Band Website: myspace.com/davidallenslater/ Band Members: David Allen Slater Look for me on Skype and check my status below! My Skype name is das_music Influences: Everything From Country to Metal with a Little Jazz thrown in between. And I can't say it enough...I Love Blues and Blues Rock. Give me something with feeling and soul that burns right through to the bone and I'm happy. The Acoustic Guitar Player that has influenced me the most is Monte Montgomery from Texas! He is just Amazing and has done for the Acoustic Guitar what Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen did for the Electric!! Gotta Love Him!!! Blues Guitar Players have been a big influence on my music and Ronnie Earl is one of my favorites. There are many other Guitar influences from the Blues world such as... Joe Bonamassa, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford and of Course Stevie Ray Vaughan! My obvious and undisputed choice for Blues Rock is Robin Trower. What talent he has. I also love Jazz Guitar and Fusion!! In the last couple of years I have discovered the music of Richie Kotzen and this guy can do it all. Rock, Blues, Acoustic or R&B , he has it covered. The Black Crowes have been an influence from the first time I heard Shake Your Money Maker until Today!! Sounds Like: James Taylor, Richie Kotzen, Keb' Mo' Record Label: unsigned Type of Label: None |
