About

Charismatic and dynamic, with a voice that can melt steel, shatter glass, wake the dead and make a pensioner dream of their first love, Dave Mann is a towering presence. Seamlessly morphing from folk singer to rock star via blistering blues and riotous roots, Dave performs with musical virtuosity and utter sincerity. The songs are timeless, heartfelt classics ranging from history to heartbreak and showing a love for family, this planet and it’s people that is breathtaking and inspirational. 

He is impeccably backed by bass superstar Roy Martinez, veteran of to many bands to mention and widely acknowledged as WA’s finest. Together with the wizardry of Arun Satgunasingham (Blue Shaddy) this revamped trio is quite simply one of the best bands in WA at the moment. Combined years of experience together with new songs, amazing energy and outrageous enthusiasm makes for an incredible show.

Dave has supported artists such as Jeff Martin (The Tea Party),The Whitlam’s, Shane Howard and Neil Murray, Pete Murray, The Cat Empire, Eric Bibb, Thirsty Merc, Jeff Lang, Diesel and Lior. Dave Mann Collective has also played major Australian festivals including the West Coast Blues And Roots, Port Fairy, Fairbridge, Nannup, Blues at Bridgetown, Folk Rhythm & Life and Peat’s Ridge to name but a few.

Everywhere At Once

Dave Mann Collective

This was an epic album to make... so much emotion and feel in the recording - We tracked this live in the Studio with award winning producer/engineer James Newhouse (The Waifs). The band is a star line up with the mighty Angus Diggs on the drums and Roy Martinez on the bass and keys. We have Phoebe Cork guesting on strings, Bec Schofield on
This was an epic album to make... so much emotion and feel in the recording - We tracked this live in the Studio with award winning producer/engineer James Newhouse (The Waifs). The band is a star line up with the mighty Angus Diggs on the drums and Roy Martinez on the bass and keys. We have Phoebe Cork guesting on strings, Bec Schofield on backing vocals and of course me (Dave) on vocals and guitars. We tracked it all to two inch tape and mostly done live which you can hear on the recording. Raw and real. I'm really proud of these songs, and this recording. Thank you James, Angus, Roy, Phoebe and Bec for your amazing contributions. Enjoy!
