Dave has had the music bug since he was a child. When asked, Dave said since he was a little boy, he has always loved the drums. Most kids avoided band class in school, when Dave was offered band as an elective in 6th grade, he jumped on it! Because schools are limited and there was already someone playing the drums, Dave almost had to choose a different instrument. Luckily, It turned out that the drummer for the past few years was graduating early. Dave was able to learn/play the drums. Then in high school he was in the marching band which really helped round out his playing. After graduation, real life got in the way for a few years. Dave started playing again in his late 20s. He worked 10+ years as a drum tech for local drummer, Ray Snyder, and the bands Tripwire and the New Romance. Dave earned his chance to sit in and play a song with both bands. That gave him the bug so he practiced hard until he got his break with SpinOff (formerly known as The Willow Oak Band.) Dave has been influenced by a few mainstream drummers that he looked up to along his drummer journey. Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, Joey Jordison, Stewart Copeland, and Neil Peart all caught Dave's attention. Ask him who were the major influences and he will tell you they were local drummers Ray Synder of “WazUp” and Chuck Newgent of “Tripwire”. Dave said over the years these guys have always been on point by pleasing the crowds and putting out nonstop rock. Now that he is the man behind the drums playing live, he finds himself emulating and playing a combination of both their styles. Dave is actually living his Rock & Roll fantasy right now. He has always just wanted to play live and now, he is doing that! Next level dream would be to sell out local venue, Power plant Live! Dave said that this would be awesome! (We agree!) Dave's taste in music is broad and wide! His favorite music is any kind of rock, country, rap, even some classical. He really loves all music genres. If you ask Dave what he likes about performing live, he will tell you; the nervousness before, the adrenaline during, and appreciation of the fans/patrons after! His performance day rituals include: after setting up he makes sure to grab something to eat. Most of the time he doesn't have any time between sets. Just before he takes the stage, he likes to step away and get his head right. He may even listen, one last time, to any songs that are new before he finally stretches and is ready to play. Dave is married to his rock and sweetheart, Tara Carter. They have been friends since 1990. They dated a few months early on until their lives went down separate paths. Their roads crossed again 15+ years later and they have been inseparable since. They have been married for 12 years! That love story led to three great kids, Jose - 30 (who helps the band as a roadie!), Saleenah - 28 and David - 13. No grand kids yet! If you have ever seen Dave play, there is one thing you can always count on; he will always bring the party behind the drums! His energy level is through the roof but Dave has a favor to ask the band's supporters; the more energy you put out on the dance floor, the more energy we will give you from the stage, so bring it on! We hope to see you out there. If you have not met Dave or the other band members, please come up introduce yourself. Dave loves meeting the people his is playing for.
Joe has been married to his awesome wife, Dawn since 1997 and they reside in Harford County, MD. He has one step daughter, Allison and one Grandson, Aidan.

Joe has been married to his awesome wife, Dawn since 1997 and they reside in Harford County, MD. He has one step daughter, Allison and one Grandson, Aidan. Joe shares a great tradition with Aidan in that they have gone to a park and ridden rollercoasters every year for his birthday since he was 9 (front seat no hands!) 🤗😊 Joe has been playing music for over 50 years with several bands throughout the NJ Shore area before joining SpinOff nearly a year ago. Joe's Rock & Roll fantasy is to be able to play music full time and make tons of money doing it...although he would settle for just doing "OK" due to his love of playing! 😊🤣 Influenced by many artists, Joe finds his musical preferences mood driven and loves everything from Blues to Progressive to Swing. His greatest musical accomplishment (so far) was his first time playing Stone Pony and touring Europe with a 53 piece orchestra! When asked what he likes most about performing live, Joe says he loves the connection and feedback from a live audience. He looks for the one person tapping their foot and when he sees that he knows they have connected! As with most musicians, Joe has a performance day ritual he adheres to faithfully; No sugar or Dairy that day as it messes with the vocal chords! Come out and share an awesome experience with Joe and the rest of SpinOff at our next gig! Joe will look for that foot tap and give you a nod!

Music is Life is the way Dave lives his life. Always having his earbuds in, listening in
the car or playing his guitar . . . Dave is always surrounded by music. His musical
in4uences are centered around Rock/Metal . . . Most notably 90’s Alternative. Bands such as Alice in Chains, Weezer, Soundgarden & Primus. All the way to heavier
bands such as Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle & Tremonti. Playing live is an amazing feeling for Dave. The lights of the stage, the crowd
