Growing up on the edge of the Delta, blues inspired music surrounded Dave. Where a typical kid might have been found listening to the latest top 40 rock hit, Dave, a self-taught musician who plays by ear, would often be found locked away in his room listening to the likes of B.B. King and Elmore James, trying to emulate their playing styles.   Also heavily influenced by modern players such as Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Stevie Ray Vaughn and others, Dave's playing style is a blend of blues, rock, jazz and funk, utilizing both electric and acoustic guitars.   "I have always had a passion for blues, blues/rock and jazz. These genres seem to influence most everything I play, compose and record", Dave says.    Music by Dave Sadler has been featured on numerous radio programs and has been used in various production music libraries, advertisements, videos, films and PR campaigns.   Dave Sadler is affiliated with BMI as a songwriter/composer publishing and recording for the independent label, BluezArt Records.
