Dave Sonntag is an acoustic singer-songwriter from Perth. The venerable musician creates feel-good music with dark undertones, telling conceptual stories and wearing heart on sleeve through every show. Dave has journeyed from skins to strings, putting the sticks down after seven years as a professional drummer to build rhythm-centric music with imaginative strumming techniques and velvety vocals. Dave's voice works through his rhythmic melodies like water, swimming from piercing falsettos to powerful tones. If Tool were folk artists or Paul Simon was a drummer, you might find Dave's sound.

Dave’s latest single release ‘Overthought’ uses the songwriter’s unique and percussive attack on his guitar strings. Produced by Matt Gio (Illy, San Cisco, Birds of Tokyo), it carries dark undertones, inspired by a year of overthinking and overanalysing. The track was even recorded during a bout of insomnia, exampled in the bridge with a huge, scratchy belt from the exhausted songwriter. Look out for Dave's Debut EP to be released early-2020.
