Piano Rock With Flavors of Pop, Americana, Jazz & Blues
www.DaveTurnerMusic.com - Based in Asheville, North Carolina, USA, pianist, singer and songwriter Dave Turner performs solo and in a variety of band formats. He began playing the piano at age seven and has written songs since grade school. Enamored by the piano for as long as he can remember, he was inspired early by Elton John. He is a prolific writer of words and music, plays the piano with power and passion, and has a strong, soulful voice.
Dave's piano rock has flavors of pop, Americana, country, jazz and blues, and sometimes a sprinkling of gospel. In fall 2007, he was one of eight finalists selected from across the United States in the North Carolina Songwriters Co-op 10th Annual Song Contest. His latest CD (2007) is "Could Have Talked All Night," with 12 songs recorded live in-studio on May 23, 2007 at Collapseable Recording Studio in Asheville, NC. The record features Dave on piano and vocal, Stephanie Morgan on vocal, Michael Libramento on bass and Joe Buzzelli on drums.
He released his first full-length CD, Stories That Are True, in 2004. This album is a piano-vocal solo release featuring 14 songs. It was recorded in November 2003 by Joseph Nilo of Nilo Creative in Asheville, NC.
About the CD "Could Have Talked All Night"
"Coming from the tradition of bar-bound piano players with a tip jar full of stories to tell, Dave Turner knows how to relate a memorable story over a simple yet well-crafted melody. With nice production values and great backing performers (including Stephanie Morgan), Turner's tunes are given a near-perfect studio treatment. At their best, his songs have the narrative depth of short stories ("Lumberton" and “Billy Ray's Chevrolet,” in particular), and while some tend towards the melancholy, the songs never overstay their welcome..."
