Dave Rounsaville is a unique entertainer and gifted musician, whose performances offer a musical celebration...a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. Born and raised in rural Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Dave’s childhood was rich with classic American values and traditions...many which he has incorporated into his performance repertoires. He credits his musical influences to the legacies of Peter Yarrow, Odetta, Tom Rush, John Denver, Rick Nelson. Dave comments, “To perform the songs that touch people is one of the greatest joys of my life and, to live my life through song, gives people a glimpse of the person I am.”

            A veteran of the arts, Dave has performed nationally and internationally since the mid-sixties. His venues have included TV, radio, indoor & outdoor concerts, festivals, coffeehouses, restaurants, clubs, schools, banquets, weddings, private parties and church programs. Dave displayed then, as he does today, an uncanny knack for finding wonderful songs that span genres and generations. It is a testimony to the universality of his appeal that his songs have been folk hits, classic rock, gospel, blues, and everything in between.

            Today, Dave still resides in Hunterdon County, close to the farm on which he was raised. He enjoys his life long hobby of designing and constructing model airplanes for competitions, nationally and internationally...as well as his undying passion for collecting guitars and playing his music. He does what he loves, and what audiences love him for: his singing and guitar playing...passionately...knitting together the musical traditions and talents of our times
