Dave Hansen  (vocals) grew up buckshot across the country–Texas & Kentucky in his early years.  After graduating from Rhode Island School Of Design he bummed around Providence playing with the satirical-rock band The Young Adults. He moved to NYC in 1980 and commenced a fruitless career as rock singer, drummer and guitarist before he found his true calling singing country and honky-tonk music. A passionate fisherman, he has also ventured into an acting career appearing in the indie film “Whiskey River NYC”.
