Trombonist Dave McGovern was born in the heart of
New Orleans,and is the 4th in a line of 5 trombone playing McGovern’s. His father
and two older brothers played and now his daughter is in her 2nd year
of learning to play. Dave’s baby bottle probably had a mouthpiece on it
as he has played since early childhood. He was a featured soloist at a
5th
grade concert, and practically every concert since. At the age of 11
after
warming up his oldest brothers horn for a Christmas concert. The high
school band director asked him to learn a Piece called “Holiday for Trombones” which featured Dave and his two older brothers as a trombone trio. It was performed at the High School Spring concert. Dave attended Southeastern Louisiana University where he played a little bass trombone and several years of lead trombone and was featured many times. He has performed with such national acts as Percy Sledge, The Coasters, The Platters, and The Marvellettes. He has also shared the stage with such names as Irma Thomas, and the Classic Rock Allstars featuring Guitarist Mike Pinera , keyboardist Jerry Corbetta, drummer Peter Rivera, and Bassist Dennis Noda. He has played with local bands La Overdrive, and Heartbeat. |

Dave likes to say he has a playing style all his own. He has a smooth
natural trombone sound until asked to ad-lib a solo then the animal in
him takes over and anything could happen then. Dave has played with
Stormy off and on for over a year now as a sub for Ernie, and things are
really beginning to gel. He has filled Ernie’s shoes quite well and we
are glad to have him as a regular member of Stormy. |
