Dave Widow, guitarist, singer songwriter, is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, currently living in the Los Angeles area. He and his band, "The Line Up", have appeared on a regular basis at such venues as B. B. King's Blues Club, The Lighthouse, and many others.
With his unique, unorthodox style of finger picking, Widow brings a fresh approach to the blues, while remaining true to the tradition of the genre. His musical style is influenced by his relationship with many great blues and R&B talents, including Buddy Miles, Bonnie Bramlett, Bill Champlain, Lonnie Mack, and his mentor and collaborator (the late) Roger "Jellyroll" Troy, bassist and vocalist for The Mike Bloomfield Band.
"The Line Up" consists of some of L.A.'s most noteworthy and well recorded musicians, such as, James Gadson; former drummer for Marvin Gaye, Paul McCartney, B.B. King. Gerald Johnson; bassist for Steve Miller, CS&N and Dave Mason. David Morgan, piano and vocals for Ricky Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band and The Nelsons. Gary Mallaber; drummer on such songs as Fly Like An Eagle, Moondance, Two Tickets To Paradise, and many more. Reggie McBride; bassist who has played with B. B. King, Elton John, and Keb' Mo'.

Dave Widow and the Line Up are one of the hottest blues, R&B acts on the West Coast. Their latest CD, "Got It Covered" is a must have item in every blues lovers's collection.
