In the years since, Dave has been rocking his keys in the studio and in the occasional blues band. Rumors brings Dave full circle, back to the foot stompin' fun of covering the great hits. |
... with a rhythm section anchored by former Celine Dion and Hall and Oates drummer Jimmy Hobson - a horn section whose members have most recently performed with Dionne Warwick, Narada Michael Walden, The Temptations, the O'Jays and Jamie Collum - two female and three male singers who all sing lead - a repertoire that spans from the 50's through the hits of today - it's no surprise that RuMoRs is one of the most popular and fun bands on the circuit today!
