(the big guy) Frye, 6' 5" 320lbs., is originally from Mulberry, Indiana
a small town halfway between Frankfort and Lafayette. He currently lives
outside of Avon, Indiana; a suburb of Indianapolis, and has also lived
in Lafayette, Indiana. He has been playing the 5-string banjo for 30 plus
years and would rather not tell the exact amount of years for fear of
giving away his true age. In the mid to late 70's he started and played
professionally with his first band, the progressive bluegrass band "Rawhide"
and played with that band until around 1984. Dave has played on stage with
talents such as Nashville recording artist Alison Krauss, and Nashville
studio artist Andrea Zonn both before they were "discovered" along with
numerous others. Dave's mentors and influences include Bela Fleck, Tony
Trishka, Earl Scruggs, J.D. Crowe, and John Hickman. Dave likes to play
everything from traditional bluegrass to the more modern Newgrass, Jamgrass,
and New Acoustical music. Dave also likes everything from Country to Heavy
Metal to Jazz to Blues, and doesn't mind dipping his toes into other areas
of music as well, he's game for anything.
