Short Bio

On almost any given day, Dave Cofell could be driving hundreds of miles from where he was that morning. He is a man devoted to the lifestyle of the traveling musician, covering tens of thousands of miles in the United States and Europe. Dave Cofell draws his inspiration from the worlds of Folk, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz, Country and Classical Music. His performances reveal a mixture of these genres (blended into a style that he has dubbed “Broad Spectrum Americana”) interwoven with humor and wisdom accumulated during his formative years in Central Minnesota and tales of his life on the road.

Dave's greatest influences are John Prine, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Gordon Lightfoot, Fats Waller, Doc Watson, Hank Williams Sr., Howlin' Wolf, Pete Seeger, Leo Kottke, Stan Rogers, John Denver, and Leadbelly.

Dave sounds like a mixture of Willie Nelson, John Mayer and Blake Shelton.
