Dave is currently performing with two primary outfits, the LarJar Band (formerly 29th Division) and Southside Funk. Playing electric piano and organ, Dave has been a regular feature on the Richmond scene over the last two years.
Formed with Alen and Jason Jarrell, two original members of the band Seven Pound Star, the LarJar Band has held down a weekly Wednesday night gig at Cary Street Cafe for over a year now. Skirting the edges of rock, funk, jazz and experimental electronica, the band performs regularly with guitarist Justin Huppmann and a number of other local musicians.

Southside Funk is an 8-member funk/jazz/rock ensemble that performs in Richmond and throughout the Southeast. Assembled by Justin Huppmann, the band has evolved over the years into a musical powerhouse that will knock your face off. The Funk Band has shared the stage with lots of great acts including the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Former Champs, Basshound and many more. They perform most regularly at Emilio’s in Richmond, and have played everywhere from Canal Club and Friday Cheers to the Jewish Mother in Va Beach and the Blind Tiger down in Greensboro, NC. The recently released “Junx” disc is a powerful sampling of what the Funk Band is capable of. Burning solos and devastating horn lines will keep you coming back for more.
