DaveFlowers
The mad-scientist of sound and recording
 Growing up in the snow-laden mountains of Colorado, Dave Flowers spent much of his school years indoors - playing keyboards with his headphones on, modifying components of his makeshift recording studio, and carefully planning his escape from his parents house in the foothills. When the opportunity arrived, he packed up his electronics and headed out to pursue a career in music. Eventually, the long and winding highway led him to a special place in the Northwest United States; Seattle.
 Over the years, Dave Flowers has recorded almost sixty solo albums, with almost every instrument being played, recorded and engineered himself. When not working on his own albums, he is producing, engineering and playing on other artists releases. When asked if he would still sign a record deal with a major label, he simply says "a lot of musicians want to be rock stars. I don't care about that stuff. I just want to be free to make music the way I feel it and nothing less."
His forthcoming album, 'Bakesale', is a collection of true stories done in song, many of them autobiographical (and sometimes comical). Slated for a fall 2009 release, 'Bakesale' has a very organic sound compared to previous albums, yet incorporates cutting-edge electronic elements that separate it from a typical rock release. Like previous records, there is a lot of attention paid to the details in his recordings. It is engineered in such a way so that virtually every nuance of every instrument can be heard. The first promotional single 'Rock N Roll Is Gonna Get You' has already garnered rave review among those that have heard it - Stay tuned.
 Regarding the cover artwork: as each album was completed, an appropriate piece of visual art was created for it. For those who haven't yet noticed, there is an ongoing theme present in every cover - a flower. As a complete works, Dave Flowers' discography can be thought of as a lifetime-long art project, a musical diary documenting the life and shifting perspectives of a learning musician circa 2000 AD.
Dave Flowers currently lives in Seattle with his lovely girlfiend and wife, Angela. He continues to record multiple projects at once in his own studio (the Flower Pot Recording Studio), play music with his friends, and operate a successful multimedia company (Amped Multimedia).
