“I love your musical universe…it’s so fresh and creative.” – Chick Corea
Dave Kline Band’s most recent album charted at #1 on the jazz charts for 16 weeks.
Washington Post: “Kline, a violinist, essentially plays any kind of music where jamming is permissible. Funk, bluegrass, calypso, Brazilian jazz…earthy stuff. Kline is an improvised musician and that’s just about the size of it. But improvise he does, and he’s got serious chops. Beyond jazz, but with definite grasp of its core ideals, and able to swing and groove with the best of them.”
All About Jazz: “Violinist Dave Kline is pushing the contemporary voice of strings to new heights, while maintaining a sophisticated yet approachable city sound.”
Don’t miss this combination of beautiful melodies, foot tapping rhythms, jaw dropping virtuosity, high energy drive, and artistic ambience.The band will consist of Dave Kline electric violin, Lynn Veronneau vocals, Buddy Speir electric guitar, Kurt Kratch bass and Olaolu Ajibade drums. And of course Tim Kaine on vocals and harmonica!
