Dave Fury is a Dallas based musician, who has played in many bands and projects over the last 20 years. Dave was introduced to music early on by his mother and older brothers who were also artistically and musically inclined. Dave first took up guitar at about seven years old but found that percussion was more his speed and took to that almost exclusively at around age nine. Dave played his first live show with his brothers in a band they formed when he was around fifteen.Oddly enough, most of his primarily named influences are not drummers at all, but guitarists. Dave does name Stewart Copeland, Marc Bell, Tommy Erdelyi, Ringo Starr, Mitch Mitchell, Keith Moon, Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Rob Hirst, Paul McCartney, and Omar Hakim among his critical percussion influences, among others.
Over the years Dave has been fortunate enough to have met and played with a few instrumental influences in his development. Dave has played punk, rock, punk rock, reggae, blues, ska, progressive rock, metal, alt/country, country, jazz, and most other styles at one time or another. Dave is head of Dave Fury Entertainment, which books DAVE FURY PRESENTS shows in and around the DFW and Texas area featuring bands of various genres.Dave was the drummer for 2007 SHINER BOCK RISING STAR winners the TRUCKSTOP JUNKIES, who can be seen and heard at www.myspace.com/thetruckstopjunkies.
