Dave Helwig
California - United States

A San Joe, California native as Dave’s reputation grew he garnished the interest of famous bay area musicians, recording an E.P with bassist Ross Valory of Journey and Drummer Prairie Prince of The Tubes. 

Helwig’s journey has been an electrifying ride, taking him across the country’s vast landscapeand into the hearts of audiences of all sizes. From intimate gatherings to massive crowds of more than 50,000, his love for music is not just heard but felt as evidenced by when he and his band received four standing ovations opening for Robert Cray at the California mid-state fair.

Among his many achievements was being asked to sing lead vocals for the legendary Ronnie Montrose.

“It was amazing,” said Helwig, who remains a Montrose fan. “I remember looking over at Ronnie and thinking… here I am performing with a music icon that I grew up listening to. It was kind of surreal.”

Helwig also once performed as a guest guitar player for Pat Travers. He traded guitar licks withTravers which earned him an endorsement deal with Baker Guitars (now B3 Guitars), while appearing in Guitar Player Magazine ads and performing at the NAMM show.
