Songwriters Series: David Fore

David Fore's "taste of fame" began as an original member of Bubble Puppy (of "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" fame, a record which hit #14 on the national US charts in 1969), and his drumming for that band gained him entrance into the Austin Chronicle Hall of Fame. After Bubble Puppy, David's band D-Day enjoyed #1 status on DJ Rodney Bingenheimer's Rodney on the Rock show on KROQ in Los Angeles with "Too Young To Date," which David co-wrote. This led to a trip to England resulting in the 1983 release of the band's eponymous LP on A&M Records. His subsequent work with The Eggmen has garnered him 11 wins in the "Best Cover Band" category of the Austin Chronicle's music poll, where he consistently lands in the Top 5 of the "Best Drummer" category.

Although drumming is his madness, Dave has always also played the guitar. But he didn't get really serious about making music on six strings until 2017, when the muses unexpectedly chose to shine their lights on him, and ten songs mysteriously appeared in his previously drum-centric brain. Seriously. These songs just showed up. What songwriter wouldn't love that? That unexpected creative gusher resulted in his 2018 CD, which David decided - in typical unpredictable Fore fashion - to title The History of Bacon.
