On a personal level, David Andrew Abermoske was born
on "Columbus Day", October 12, 1966 in Chicago, Illinois.
He stands almost 6' 6" tall and weighs 172 pounds. He has natural curly blond hair, hazel eyes and an affable character.
His hobbies are singing, playing guitar and playing pool, in that order.
His laid-back nature and personality is the reason people gravitate to him and his many imitations of all the country "stars"
voices is amazing and nothing short of incredible.
He also imitates people's speaking voices and was even expelled one week for imitating his high school principal, by telling
the students over the loudspeaker to come to the office.
At age 11, David performed for "Choral Dynamics" a group that his mother belonged to.
At 13 he started playing his uncle's and cousin's guitars and seemed to have a natural penchant or affinity for it and at
age 14 he got his own guitar.
About age 15 he was imitating all of the "Country Stars" voices exactly and people called him uncanny. Everybody thinks he
is faking it, but he isn't.
He was 18 when he sang at the Lake County Fair and on the Karaoke machines around town he has won numerous awards. It was
while doing that, that he was named, "Country Dave."
He was asked to sing for the "Civil War Days" reenactment in the town of Mundelein, Illinois and he also played for "Libertyville
Days".
When he was in his 20's and before he shipped out for the Persian Gulf he sang and played before a large audience in Virginia
Beach, Virginia and when he was actually at the Persian Gulf on the Red Sea, he sang and played for his shipmates, numbering
about 7,000.
In 1993 he took a trip down to Nashville, where he sang in the `Don Reed' production of "Starborn Records" and he said he
would promote him, but the cost was prohibitive. He met Jack Patton who was interested in him after he sang at Mickey Gilley's
place right in Nashville. He met Chuck Seals who wrote, "Crazy Arms" and Johnny Rivers, Mel Fender, Freddie's brother and
Jack Greene. He thinks that Jim Ed Brown was there too.
In 1997 there was a "Star Search" in Mundelein that he won, by singing his original song he had written, "Back in my Childhood
Days." He received a $2500.00 dollar prize which consisted of recording his songs at "Big Mama's" in Jackson, Tennessee, and
that was his reason for leaving Illinois, but when he actually went there to have them honor his prize, they told him he needed
to use their musicians and band, so needless to say, he didn't have the money and is still struggling as a truck driver/mover.
In November of 1998 Dave moved to Cookeville, Tennessee to be closer to Nashville. Dave is following his Dream and hopes to
continue to find great opportunities in the Music Business.
Dave is very instrumental in writing his own songs and
has written the lyrics and music to over 60 of them. He also accompanies himself on the guitar.
He just finished recording some of his Originals in Nashville at Main Frame Recording Studio in March 2003.
