Projects

Dave is available to perform as a solo act, duo, trio or larger group, including the
recently formed "Dave Badilla Band", a group of seasoned professional musicians
from other bands Dave has worked with in the past. On any given gig, you will hear a
mix of music, from country to Motown, rock and roll, and everything in between.  In
addition to his regular bands, Dave also performs with local bands such as “The
Fundudes”, “Somebody’s Uncle”, “The Hot Rods Band”,  and others on an  “as
needed” basis.

In May of 2014, after a delay of many years,  Dave has released his first CD, "Here I
Am",  featuring several cover songs from his vast repertoire of classic rock songs
and the original title cut, " Here I Am". It's available exclusively at live gigs or contact
Dave directly to reserve your copy.   

In the final weeks of 2006, Dave laid down guitar tracks for a song on “Guitar Farm
2”, a follow-up album to “Guitar Farm” which features nationally and internationally
known guitar players such as Dave Meniketti & John Nyman of Y&T, Stef  Burns, Brad
Gillis, Jim Ziegler, Tommy Castro, Dave Jenkins (from Pablo Cruise), the great Steve
Morse, Pat Thrall, Peppino d’Agostino, Mike Varney, Jim Bedford, Charles Sedlak
and Steve Woolverton. Still in production, the album release date has not been set
yet.
