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

They play all over the Eastern Shore

points in between. Only together for two years they have developed
a sound that is unmistaken. You will enjoy the energy that they display
as they sound like more than just two. Dave is an accomplished musician
who sings vocals plays the guitar, the violin, and the harmonica, while
Stix is the percussionist playing the congas, bongos, and tambourine.
Once
you hear them you will never forget them. Come and enjoy!
Check out this review we found on
the internet of Dave and Sticks playing at Kentmorr/ Dirty Dave's Tiki
Bar on Kend Island:
"Ok... one more crab house mystery
solved.
Mate and I braved the Bay Bridge
traffic (almost uneventfully) on a Labor Day weekend Sunday afternoon.
We like to live dangerously, don't we? Sat down with
a dozen large crabs ($48/doz. not bad at all for a major holiday weekend)
and an order of Caprese Salad. The tomatoes and basil were out of
the garden perfection. After all this is the Eastern Sho'... The
dressing a very light olive oil brought it all together and made us forget
about fancy imported mozzerella.
The cool, sweet Caprese was the absolute
perfect foil for our spicy steaming hot crabs. The mate has often asked
for sliced garden tomatoes (when available, Silver Queen corn when not)
with her crabs, but this was a step above and beyond. So I have kicked
up Kentmorr to 5*.
But wait! Completely without
our planning, "Dave & Sticks" came along and set up their band equipment
right next to us on the outdoor crab deck and began to play. Two local
guys, a guitar, a fiddle, and a set of conga drums playing Dave Matthews/David
Gray kinda music. What a nice surprise to top off our Sunday afternoon.
...we ordered another Caprese
salad and another pitcher of beer and enjoyed Dave & Sticks a while...
the myster solved was J.O. Seasoning"
Dave and Stix will also book private
parties and events.

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.

Jeff “Sticks” Chaney will rock the
house with his energetic beats from his Synergy Conga drums with an added
flair from his LP Spire Bongo drums. You will also catch a background
sound from his tambourine and his back-up vocals. All mixed in perfect
harmony with Dave.

CD in 2012. You can keep up with their busy schedule right here at
