Dave Sheehan

“Versatility” is the best word to describe Dave’s roll with Groove Society. Most often, he adeptly sings the bass part, but with his exceptionally broad range, he covers the tenor  part when necessary. He has been involved with music since he was a child and has been influenced by such jazz greats as Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Take 6, and Sarah Vaughan. He is thankful for his father always introducing new artists like these to him.

Dave holds a degree in music education from the University of Northern Colorado and currently enjoys teaching music at Franklin Elementary School. While at UNC, Dave was deeply involved in the choral program and with the music of Campus Crusade for Christ. He also served in UNC’s student chapter of their music education organizations, and was a member of the vocal jazz groups Et Cetera and Vocal Jazz I. He is grateful for the professors who have always been such a huge influence there.

Since graduating, Dave has been involved in performing with various churches and has sung with the Singers Master Chorale, where he received critical acclaim as a feature soloist in Mozart’s Requiem. Lately, one of Dave’s favorite positions in the music world has been as a judge with Colorado’s All-State Vocal Jazz Choir.
