Donn is a music educator at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School. A busy studio guitarist with a master’s degree in jazz guitar, Donn also performs regularly with local bands Blues Train, and the SouthCoast Jazz Orchestra.

He studied under well-known teacher Al Mello, and he’s played with area bands like Fury, Action, Gratitude, Silversmith, Chalice, and the Paul Lévesque Band. Dave counts Jeff Porcaro, Steve Smith and Dave Weckl as inspirations.

CHRIS GONSALVES (bass)

He’s also done several stints with touring bands in Florida including Little Eddie and the Fat Fingers and The Jack Stevens Band.
