Dave Hawkins,
an accomplished musician has been playing music for what seems to be his
entire life. Music is his passion and he is passionate about how it's perceived
throughout his audience. He plays many guitars, harmonica, and fiddle and
when you hear him you will think there is a whole band, not just one person.
This is accomplished by what is known as looping. There is never
a "backing track" to play along with, which is used by some other players
out there. His vocals and music will reach the deepest part of you while
it sets your senses alive. He plays sounds from the current popular, to
classic rock, to Dave Matthews, to his own original compositions as he
touches on just about any genre you may desire (he plays hundreds of songs).
Dave is playing on the Western Shore and throughout the Eastern Shore from
Kent Island to Ocean City to Rehobeth Beach/ Fenwick Island to St.
Michaels just about every weekend during the year.

A native of Easton, Md Dave started
playing in local bands which included the favorite “Riff Raff.” A sabbatical
from public performance followed, and song writing began that ultimately
culminated in two CD's, Two-Way Mirror and Timing both of
which are usually available for sale at his gigs. Be sure to visit

Jeff
"Sticks" Chaney Music is and always has
been the force behind the energy displayed by Jeff “Stix” Chaney.
Jeff, a native of the Baltimore –Woodlawn area has always had the beat
and rhythm so he began his music career as a drummer and was given the
nickname of “Stix”. He has played in many bands through his life,
but the most successful was his six years with “Riff” a favorite Blues
band in Baltimore. Jeff and his wife Paula relocated to the Eastern
Shore about six years ago and have been a constant in the local music scene.
This is where they met Dave Hawkins another local musician and a favorite
of many. Dave and Stix became a music duo and have evolved into a
local favorite. They now call themselves Dave and Stix – “just
one beat off”, however they truly have the right beat and the energy
that will not allow you to stay in your seat.
