078: Dave VanAmburg
Episode description
After learning to play guitar at age 17 in the mid 1960s, Dave Van Amburg would spend the next 11 years playing solo and in bands such as Back Country Jam and Calico. Then he took a 40-year break from music. In 2013, he began playing again in bands such as 2Blue, Bootlegger Bible Club, Matty B & the Dirty Pickles, House of Rhythm, The V Band, and others, and he hasn't let up. Listen to Dave's fascinating and inspiring musical journey in episode 78.
Thanks to the JPT Foundation for sponsoring the Erie Music History podcast. The goal of the foundation is to provide education scholarships to grade school-age children as well as annual giving to local organizations and charities. The foundation has a large hall that hosts bingo four days a week and is available for rentals, and it is also the home of this podcast’s monthly music night, which is the first Tuesday of the month from 6PM-9PM.
Many thanks to folks like Angelo Phillips, Tom Lane, and Mike Miller who have donated to the podcast. If you would like to help out, Venmo me at @Dan-Schell-6.
