"DAVE SEAR, A WINNING PERFORMER EXUBERANTLY SET THE AUDIENCE TO SINGING, SWAYING AND CLAPPING WITH HIM." WASHINGTON POST

"A LIGHTHEARTED AND INFORMAL "EVENING OF FOLK SINGING" WAS PRESENTED BY A WELL GROUNDED STUDENT OF THE ART." JOHN S. WILSON, NY TIMES

DAVE SEAR is a dynamic folk singer connecting to his audience with humor, excitement and passion through folk songs of our times and times gone by.

With banjo and twelve string guitar ringing, SEAR blends old foot-stomping mountain square dance tunes with new songs about sailors, women, children, animals, mermaids, aging and nature into a life-affirming concert that leaves an audience young or old with a good  feeling toward life.

DAVE SEAR has been an active member of the folk music scene since the late 1940's and has given concerts all over the United States and in Europe. He has shared stages with every folk singer over the years from Woody Guthrie to Pete Seeger and has recorded for many different labels. SEAR has directed music for and appeared on CBS, NBC, CBC, and WPIX television. A veteran of over 40 years in radio, SEAR is best known as host/producer of the nationally syndicated "FOLK MUSIC ALMANAC" broadcast over Public Radio stations all over the United States.

Robert Sherman, host/producer of "Woody's Children” and program director of WQXR has called DAVE SEAR’S record, "FRIENDS", "an extraordinary collection of songs--potent, powerful and fun".

His album entitled "DAVE SEAR LIVE!" presents Sear in an exciting live concert singing about life across the generations, powerful songs of the sea, and takes a broad look at America through the eyes of song writers as diverse as Bob Dylan and Merle Haggard.

DAVE SEAR has been a member of the faculty of Hofstra University where he has taught several courses in American folk music.
