Live Music at Cork 7/9- DAVE ALVES
Dave Alves is multi-instrumentalist musician who grew up in the New Bedford area and has been performing his own songs and his takes on favorite songs for over two decades. You can find him all over New England playing singer-songwriter styled songs from every genre and decade to show just how much music has shaped him through his life. Studying as a classical & later a jazz pianist these influences shine through in Dave’s arrangements. His performances can set the tone to a low-key evening of dinner and drinks or boost to a night of dancing and sing alongs, either way it’s an enjoyable night for all who join!
