Born in Houston, Texas, drummer Chris Dave, also known as Chris “Daddy” Dave, is one of the most revered and in demand musicians of his generation. His eccentric approach to the drum set and his ability to adapt to any musical setting, whether jazz, hip-hop or R&B, has put him in a category of his own.

The Drumhedz is a rotating collective of top-notch performers, and coming to Dublin is a very impressive crew.
