DAVE CLOUD & THE GOSPEL OF POWER (Nashville, TN)
Mr David Cloud is a true original and veteran of the Nashville scene of some 25 plus years, confusing some, scaring others and exciting all along the way. Often invoking words like ‘shamanistic’, ‘beat’ and ‘maverick’, even the Sunday Times described his debut album in a glowing 4/5 review as the last genuine lost genius who achieves a 'transcendental psychedelic primitivism'. His totally unique warped vocals and freestyle lyrics also get him comparisons to Roky Erikson, Beefheart and Charles Bukowski.
Dave is also the current face and voice of the new Budweiser advertising campaign (a series of ads by Hollywood director Harmony Korine) wherein he is the mentor to a bunch of drunks playing covers. Thankfully his real-life band features members of Lambchop and Clem Snide!
He's previously toured Europe with The Silver Jews and was such a hit in Norway, they've even named a bar in Bergen after him!
A true legend. Do not miss!
