Dave Kardas Band


Dave Kardas plays fusion and blues in NYC, Ct and Austin Texas at this time. Playing bass with Dave is Brian Buster, and Tony Filyaw on Drums. Dave has been very actiive this past year playing in NYC at Iridium, Sugar Bar, National Underground and Shrine along with several clubs this year in Austin Texas, Carousal Lounge, Headhunters, Elephant Room, Cedar Door and Amarillo Music Hall. Dave's compositions have been selected to be played on The Real Radio Show Times Square, Artist First, Midnight Special Blues Radio in Paris France, Indie Radio 104 LA, KanalJazz and Uptown Blues Network.

My compositions and playing come from several influences, mainly Mike Stern, Larry Carlton, John Scofield, Stevie Ray Vaughan and others. A Graduate of Hartt School of Music, I have taken lessons with Larry Coryell, Jackie McLean and Sal Salvador. 

I  have been writing new music both instrumental and with me on the vocals, tunes such as Paradise and Broken Ankle(with Brian), both can be heard on You Tube, we are planning a new CD to be recorded over the winter. The band is planning a Southwest Tour in mid March to Austin, Texas and other southern cities.
