Album Notes

Dave has been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. Taking up music at an early age, he picked up guitar as his main instrument just before entering high school. Over the years he has grown in to an accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter.

A Cincinnati native and gradaute of the University of Cincinnati, Dave started playing guitar in local bands at the age of 15 and has never stopped. Primarily playing in original groups Dave has been a guitarist and songwriter in several local bands, one of which, Dr. Paradox, was offered a record contract from an indie label and had a single released on Deary Me Records.

Dave has continued his focus on original music under the professional alias, Nucliess. Songwriting, recording and producing round out Dave's skills, all of which are featured on the 2008 Nucliess debut release, Shades of Life.

Dave plays Ibanez and Voodoo guitars. He uses Peavey and Mesa/Boogie amplifiers with B-52 cabinets (Celestion speakers). Dave developed a passion for rock and blues guitar almost 20 years ago and continues to fuel that passion today, both through his original Nucliess works and as a vocalist and lead guitarist for Cincinnati's premier party rock cover band, Ground Floor.
