Dave Chappell, a Washington, DC native, is one of the most sought after and respected musicians in the area. For the last several years, he has won the Washington Area Music Awards (WAMMIES) for Musician of the Year, Rock Instrumentalist of the Year, and Roots Rock Instrumentalist of the Year. He has performed with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge, Johnny Johnson, and guitar wizard Danny Gatton. He can be heard frequently at area clubs such as JV's Restaurant, State Theater, the Birchmere, 49 West, Hank Dietle's Tavern, performing with DC area favorites Tommy Lepson and Bruce Swaim. And, from time to time, Dave plays with Johnny Neel from the Allman Brother's Band and Gov't Mule, and Redd Volkaert from Merle Haggard's Band.
Tonight, Dave is joined by a stellar line-up of some of the best DC musicians (and some of our very favorites, too): Pete Ragusa on drums, John Previti on bass, and Bruce Swaim on tenor sax. Another night of great dancing.
Don’t know how to swing dance? No problem! Gottaswing instructors will get you started with a beginner swing lesson, included in the price of admission. Join Gottaswing for eight-week beginner and intermediate classes on Wednesday nights—no partner needed, all ages are welcome!
