Dave Shindele – “I call what I do ‘piano poetry’, since music energizes the spoken word and vice-versa. Music sung with lyrics is core to living. It embodies, expresses, brings forth and throws into the future. It knows what we don’t yet know. I love it!” Born in Seattle, raised in NYC suburban NJ, Dave has lived in Madison since 1978 and has been songwriting, singing and playing piano for over 50 years.
