Donation protected

Unfortunately, due to a variety of serious complications including a life threatening infection and resulting hospitalization, Dave recently endured no less than 4 knee surgeries (on the same knee), and is currently being treated with ongoing physical therapy for the foreseeable future. This unexpected ordeal has put an immeasurable strain on Dave's musical career and finances with out of pocket medical bills totaling over $20k and counting.

In response, Dave has organized an unprecedented 3 Day Fun-Raising World Music Festival: "HOLO-Fest" featuring the DHB Acoustic All Stars plus over 50 special guest musicians and bands!! Holo Fest is free, family friendly, and takes place in Pacific Grove, CA over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 29th-Dec 1st).
