Kirsten & Dave’s diverse backgrounds are the key to their success at performing a variety of musical styles. Whether they are playing acoustic pop, country, acoustic blues or folk/bluegrass, their love for music is obvious. Playing a variety of instruments, Kirsten & Dave swap off melodies and harmonies as they play a mix of covers and original tunes. They have many decades of performing experience between them and they have been playing together since 2002. Kirsten & Dave have opened for Chris and Meredith Thompson, Paul Rishell & Annie Raines, and Guy Davis. They were finalists on the 2007 season of “Community Auditions,” a televised New England based talent contest, have been featured performers at many area coffeehouses, and play at a variety of venues from outdoor fairs, markets and concerts in the park to cafès, restaurants, and events.

Kirsten & Dave’s first studio CD, Dreams That Just Won’t Let Go, was released in October 2006. Made up of mostly original tunes, it captures the spirit of their live performances in fully produced versions of their favorite songs. The cut People Talk went to number 1 on the list of anti-war songs on Neil Young’s web site.

Things You Learn, Kirsten & Dave’s sophomore effort, was released in March 2009. While still keeping the “live” feel of the first CD, the two artists explored a wider breadth of music. The album includes traditional folk, country, blues, rock and acoustic pop. As with the first album, most of the tracks are songs written by Kirsten and Dave.
