"Peace, Love, and Rock." -Dave Goodrich ABOUT DAVE GOODRICH

The intelligently-crafted songs penned by Washington, DC-born singer/songwriter/producer Dave Goodrich have woven their waves into more than 100 television shows, including multiple episodes of MTV's MADE, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and Martha Stewart's syndicated show Martha, and specials such as CMT's Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team. A & E, The Travel Channel, The Biography Channel, The Food Network, HGTV, The Discovery Channel HD, The History Channel, PBS, and numerous other networks have also aired a mélange of productions bearing Dave Goodrich's musical signature, and companies such as Red Bull Media House have licensed his compositions for their creations. Dave's latest ten-song acousto-centric second solo album Stripped Away, which illuminates the bare essentials of life and the enduring power of love, was recently released both on CD and through digital retailers such as iTunes to great acclaim by listeners. Stripping down to the core of his creative spirit, Dave wrote, performed, produced, engineered, and mastered this heart-stroking collection of songs in its entirety. He is also in the midst of mixing down his upcoming guitar-driven, rock homage to humanity, So Far from Hollywood. One More Turn—a track from this much-anticipated collection of songs—has already rocked its way into more than a dozen television shows, including VH1's I Love Toys. In addition to extensive placement on TV shows aired in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, Dave's first solo album—15 Minutes—has received radio airplay on commercial and college stations and charmed listeners and reviewers all over the US.

A musical visionary who shares his reflections on mankind through his insightful, soulful songs, Dave Goodrich subtly lures his listeners into a greater awareness of the world and their place within it. He firmly rests his heartfelt melodic vocal offerings on a rock-solid bed of rhythm and drive to awaken his listeners to a better dream. He aims to change the world one beat at a time, while entertaining every audience he encounters along the way.

A deep love of performing has kept Dave onstage throughout the stages of his life: teenage turmoil in Mexico City, California college capers, Mind's i drummer days in DC, and his current incarnation as a Virginia-based solo artist. Performing in countless venues from the famed punk haven Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco to DC's cool-edged 9:30 Club to the Manhattan landmark The Back Fence in Greenwich Village, Dave has left his spirited musical mark on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Along the way, he has shared bills with many other gifted artists, including Jewel and Howie Day. A San Francisco State University music alumnus, Dave has been a voting member of The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (The GRAMMYS).

"One listen to this album will leave you breathless."
