Biography

Michael David has lived in Southwest Florida over 30 years. Many fondly remember him from the 15 years he worked in hospitality, as owner of the charter sailing operation at South Seas Plantation on Captiva Island. As a longtime business owner, he understands the importance of commitments, and never misses an appointment or gig.

Michael David is available to play solo gigs on guitar (and prides himself on using no backing tracks) and on upright or electric bass as part of a group.

He has always been influenced by jazz, particuarly straight-ahead jazz, and when sitting in on local jam sessions, receives kudos for his work on the upright bass, from the many retired professional musicians who call southwest Florida home.

Now a resident of south Fort Myers, Michael David plays gigs from North Fort Myers to Naples, Sanibel to Buckingham. A versatile musician, he is well versed in jazz standards, pop hits, R&B, easy listening, folk, country, blues and Latin music. His solo act, "Forgotten Favorites" is particularly appealing to Baby Boomers, who will easily recognize hits from the 1960s -1990s.
