THE DAVE KLINE BAND with Scott Slay and the Rail

THE DAVE KLINE BAND with Scott Slay and the Rail

A transplanted Brit, Dave Kline has shared the stage with Chick Corea and Dwight Yoakam in coast to coast performances.

Multi-Grammy winner Chick Corea had this to say: “Great music, man! Love the new CD ... Great tunes and such warm renditions. I love your musical universe … it's so fresh and creative and so Dave. Good luck with this and keep the music fires burning bright. You know why? Simply because you can! And do it so well.”

Not your usual violin music, the Dave Kline Band fuses contemporary sounds - rock, funk, jazz, blues, folk with music from timeless cultures of the world such as Caribbean, Latin, European, Middle Eastern, Celtic and African. With warp drive combustion the high energy original instrumentals are constantly innovating and improvising.

Dave Kline on electric violin and acoustic guitar. Fernando Mojica on electric guitar bringing soul and string wizardry. From Senegal, Etu Dieng on bass, adds African and western sounds to the mix. Jon Laine on drums has performed with artists such as Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
