Dave Fabris

Born: May 9, 1967

The music of guitarist David Fabris has been steeped deeply in an eclectic pool of influences... His new CD, Lettuce Prey (Great Winds/Musea), is music that is supported equally by the three legs of Rock, Jazz and Classical. It has the guts and glory of rock heroes like Jimi Hendrix (whose tune, Angel, is featured as a guitar solo on this CD). It possesses the surprise and intrigue of Jazz improvisation (like Ornette Coleman's Sadness - presented here in a jazz quintet format). Lastly, it exudes the intricacy and depth of contemporary Classical music - Ives, Prokofiev, and Khatchaturian are among the composers presented here. But the intent is for the styles to coalesce...that the heavy guitar bass and drum treatment of Ginastera's String Quartet No. 2, for example, maintains the sublimation of the original while making the listener pump their fist in the air!

A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and recording artist...Ehresman is a restless musical spirit, always looking for something new, expressed with fearlessly honest, socially-conscious lyrics. In October of 2023, Ehresman released his 21st album of original music--"Cassandra, Cursed", featuring a mature, fun and wildly-diverse collection of songs across a wide variety of styles.  July 11 of 2022 (his 60th birthday) saw the release of Walter's 20th solo album of original material, "My Back Pages, Revisited (With No Blonde)."   To mark the occasion, this album is made up of new versions of some of Ehresman's old songs, spanning a 27 year period and going all the way back to the ‘80s
