For 25 years drummer and percussionist Dave Williams has travelled all over the world backing an esteemed list of amazing artists. Dave’s extensive knowledge of styles stretches from rock, pop and soul to Latin, jazz and World Music – making him an exceptional mentor. Dave is the Manager and Musical Director of the internationally acclaimed American Divas live show and his recording work includes sessions for industry leaders Sony Music.
But when three musicians spend over a decade on the road together – performing for audiences from 20 to 20,000, honing their act, exploring every nuance of their show night after night and developing their parts instinctively so they breathe as one unit – what happens is something else: Intuition. Symbiosis. Power.
