Dave Gibson - Biography

Anyone born in El Dorado, Arkansas and raised in Odessa, Texas would be likely to love country music and Dave Gibson is no exception. Upon moving from Arkansas to Texas with his mother, brother and sister, Dave was introduced to the music Gibson Miller Band of Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly who lived down the road in Lubbock, Texas. Elvis was his idol and his influence can still be heard in Dave's vocal performance. 

With an old Ford van, a guitar and few clothes, Dave came to Nashville and hit the streets looking for a record deal and people to listen to the songs he wrote. Early meetings with music legend Tony Brown and Producer Norro Wilson led to his introduction to Producer Doug Johnson and Blue Miller, guitar player for Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band. Together, Dave and Blue formed the ACM Award winning Gibson/Miller Band. Despite recording several top ten hits, including a Gibson /Miller remake of "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys," which was featured in the movie "The Cowboy Way" with Keifer Sutherland and Woody Harrelson, Dave was still looking forward. His efforts as a songwriter had skyrocketed with songs like Alabama's, "Jukebox In My Mind", Tanya Tucker's, "If It Don't Come Easy", Confederate Railroad's "Queen of Memphis" and "Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind," and Joe Diffie's poignant hit "Ships That Don't Come In." 

Then in 1994, Dave's life was changed. Soon after disbanding the Gibson/Miller Band, Dave met a beautiful and talented singer/songwriter named Daisy Dern. She asked him to listen to her demo tape and he went home praying she was good because as Dave says, "I was already in love with her and I really wanted her to be good". As it happened he was blown away. They had a date to discuss the tape and never left each other's side. In 1997 in a beautiful ceremony at Daisy's home on the Pacific Ocean, Dave and Daisy were married. In 1999, they became the proud parents of a gorgeous baby girl named Savannah. 

Dave states, "I just love entertaining! Whether I'm backing Daisy or headlining a concert, performing for country music fans is what I do and what I'll always do as long as there's an audience that will listen." As his many fans will tell you, there will be people listening for a long, long time to come.
