Dave McGuire

Dave McGuire is a professional solo guitarist and highly sought after

sideman. His style has developed over many years of composing,

recording and performing.

“No one plays guitar like Dave”

– Steve Newcomb

Using an electric or acoustic guitar, a fender amp and a boss loop

station, Dave can create anything from introspective folk to sonic

soundscapes to funky “one man jams”.  Repertoire can range from

classic jazz standards like “Summertime” through to covers of Jimi

Hendrix, Sting or Bob Marley.  When it comes to electric or acoustic

guitar, his tone, touch and technique are second to none and he draws

on a variety of rich musical influences including jazz, folk, pop,

blues, reggae and soul.

After graduating from the Queensland Conservatorium in 2004, Dave has

played and recorded with several local artists including Melissa

Forbes, Alison St Ledger, Sarah Collyer and Alesa Lajana.

Most recently Dave was resident guitarist at the Queensland Performing

Arts Centre’s Lobby Bar – a gig which allowed him to explore his solo

guitar project.   He also returned from a successful tour of regional

Queensland with the highly regarded “Tom Waits for No Man” and “A-Z of

Cabaret” shows.
