Best Folk Performer - Lehigh Valley Music Awards 2009 (12/2/09)

“He’s kind of like a guitar where, over the years, it’s settled into the wood and finish and becomes a real fine vintage instrument…. He’s grown so wise with his music.”  Allentown Morning Call.

“Some say folk music, some say theater, some dare say rock and roll, but it's all a part of what Dave does so well - 'play' music.” " Allentown Symphony Hall (11/29/09)
