Dave Kraemer of Haskell, NJ has been a fixture in the NJ
music scene for the last 35 years. From
his early years as a guitarist with Dan Kidney and The Pulsations to his latest
projects Electric Pulse and Pulse DK to regularly hosting Open Mic Nights at
Jiggs Corner in Butler, The Huntsman in West Milford, Hennessey’s in Morristown, Ruppert’s in
Riverdale, The Bouelvard in Elmwood Park and many more. Dave also taught guitar lessons
at Haskell Music from 1973 until its closing in 2013. Music has always been Dave’s passion and
career. On Feburary 14th Dave suffered an Aortic Dissection while
shoveling snow. He was rushed to Morristown Medical Center and immediately underwent
surgery to repair his Aortic artery. During surgery Dave endured a stroke. Unfortunately
this series of events has left Dave’s career as a musician in jeopardy. To help Dave and his family alleviate some of
the financial stresses associated with this difficult time, a day of music will be held on April 27th
from noon to 6pm at the Oakland Elks Lodge, 33 Ramapo Valley Rd, Oakland, NJ. Tickets
for this event are $30.00 and admission includes entertainment by: The
Straight Jackits, Dead From the Neck Up, Maximum America and DJ Captain and
Camile. Beer, soft drinks and food will also be served.
