Dave Gardner – Tales of the Road & The Wilderness.

THE ALBUM LAUNCH

In 1993, Preston based songwriter and musician DAVE GARDNER was plucked from obscurity to sharing the stage with American songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson. With no management or agent representation – Kris signed off on Dave.

Following the tour Dave then went on to play with The Kinks on their 1993/94 final tour and Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett.

In between the high profile touring around the UK and parts of Europe - Dave played the UK Folk Circuit sharing stages with Michael Chapman, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, John Martyn and Pentangle amongst others.

Dave fronts The Hellfire Preachers and will tonight be accompanied by Charlie Wells on Double Bass.

Dave is writing a book centred around the high profile UK Tours with The Kinks, Kris Kristofferson and Steve Hackett – Tales of the Road & The Wilderness will be published in Summer 2025. The evening will be a night of Roots based originals and adaptations of Traditional English Folk Songs. There will be stories and readings from the upcoming book.

Dave will be showcasing new songs that are featured on the brand new CD release - Tales Of The Road & The Wilderness Album.
