With two solo albums, one album with KAVUS and 2.25 albums with Classical Blast, David Kav is no stranger to the music world. He has been playing acoustic guitar and singing for nearly two decades. David has collaborated with other artists and is featured as a guest musician on other recordings as well to include Dawn Xiana Moon, Ian Narcisi.

David has opened for many national acts with his last band Classical Blast to include Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Michael McDonald, Eric Burdon & the Animals, Don Felder of the Eagles, Burton Cummings of the Guess Who, The Orchestra (former members of ELO & ELO II.)
As a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan (and David would like to point out that he has always been a Cubs fan - EVEN when they were the "butt-end of MANY a joke,") David had the utmost pleasure and privilege to play the National Anthem at Wrigley Field three times with his aforementioned former band. David keeps releasing new material with another single, "Lifetime" that was released December 2019.
In addition, David has formed and joined a musical duo with his wife, Amanda Winter called 180 Grams. They are to be debuted Spring 2020. Web site, social media sites and music are to be announced very soon!
David's musical path may keep changing. However, the core of his musical heart and soul is still in tact and is forever evolving. David is thankful for the friends, family and tribal members that have tirelessly supported him - both quietly and with gusto.
With eternal gratitude and many thanks,
David Kav
