Dave ”Groove Master” Nordstrom started performing music at the age of 12, debuting as the band's lead singer. Not able to find a bass player, Dave decided to buy a bass. He paid exactly $26.11 including the tax, which he had to borrow due to the fact he had brought only the amount listed on the tag, for a “no-name” Japanese baby-blue short scale bass. It was beautiful and sounded pretty good as long as you tuned the G-string down half step so it would play in tune further up the neck. His studies included music theory at Eastern Washington University, but most of his training was acquired listening to the greats on vinyl and, on the streets touring around the country. Early influences include Paul McCartney, James Jamerson and Ron Wood. “Playing music is a passion and God willing I'll be doing it for years to come. It truly is the best job in the world.”
