About Dave Wooley
Dave Wooley was born the youngest of three boys. Being the youngest he got to experience a lot of what two older brothers will do, even if it was just seeing the cause and effect! Dave's mom comes from a very musical family.
There were many outings and family events where it seemed like everyone played or sang something. Dave's mom had a unique way of playing the guitar — open tuning in the key of E. Many family members are still using this tuning. She also played harp and accordion. All this exposure to different styles and genres of music made it very easy for Dave to get involved in music.
Dave's mom had Dave's brother Dan playing and singing for folks at local pubs at a very young age. Dave attributes most of his musical training to his brother. They were getting so tight with singing and playing together they started to perform professionally in 1988. They had a lot of success in their home state of Maine. In 1991, they won the GMC Country Show Down.
With young families to provide for, Dave and Dan started their own businesses for a period of about ten years. In this time, Dave had the pleasure of performing in many genres of music — R&B, classic rock-n-roll, and country.
In early 2002, Dave got a phone call from Nashville to do some recording. He went, and recorded two original and one cover song. So excited about the experience, he got in touch with brother Dan to listen and asked him to join him in the recording. The result was the first ever recording of the Wooley Brothers. Their music was well received by fans and industry.
Their music has been featured on WMCM, B98.5, 93.5 WCME, 89.9 WERU, 93.1 WMGX, as well as Lucky 99.1. With success comes fear and stress: the decision was made late in 2003 for Dave & Dan to go their separate ways. Dan wants to pursue his writing. Dave is going to continue to write and perform. He is very excited about his first solo project. The buzz that he is receiving from the industry already with the single release, "I can't live with losin' you" is that it's sure to grab the listener!
