Not many people take the chance to go down "The road not taken", the one they thought they left behind. But you may find that road has been weaving it's way through your path the whole time and that's what Dave Cormier discovered in making his self titled debut album Cor-Me-Eh and his powerful sophomore album Little Pieces.

Dave grew up in Nova Scotia, an area steeped in music tradition. His Father was a violinist once considered a child prodigy. Dave's passion for music wasn't in the classical music of his dad or the traditional music the area is known for but in the raw energy of rock and roll. Dave packed his bags and headed West where he joined a punk band as a bass player and began his musical journey. When that didn't pan out he decided to form his own alternative rock band and moved to Winnipeg. Dave took on the lead singer role while based in Winnipeg and started playing rhythm guitar as well as bass. The band attracted the attention of record company Duke Street Records and was offered a record deal but it was not to be as Dave had already decided to leave the band and move back to Nova Scotia. Although Dave took a sabbatical from his music and moved to British Columbia a couple of years later, it was never far from his thoughts as he continued to write the occasional song and indulge his passion for guitars. It was during a conversation with a friend in 2011 that Dave decided to write songs again in earnest. He received so much positive feedback at gigs and from friends that the decision was made to record an album. Dave worked with Producer Zak Cohen at The Woodshop Studio in Duncan, B.C. Dave's albums really came together in the studio resulting in 2 fantastic rock/blues rock records that retains a timeless quality, but still has a modern feel. Dave's voice has never been better pulling you in with its raspy tone, the perfect platform for his thought provoking lyrics. The beautiful and edgy lead guitar playing of Zak Cohen and the chunky and innovative rhythm guitar of Dave Cormier coupled with the powerhouse rhythm section of Pat Stewart and Rob Becker really sets the stage for these albums.

Relationships drive our lives, challenging us with their complexities while allowing us to grow immeasurably. Award-winning musician Dave Cormier explores this concept in his new album, “Little Pieces,” reflecting on the little pieces of ourselves that we give away in every relationship, while hoping to get enough of those pieces back over time to remain whole.

Dave hails from Nova Scotia, where he was raised under the influence of the province’s rich musical tradition and his father’s prodigious talent with the violin. Dave, however, was drawn to the energy and organic nature of rock and roll, and moved west to explore his passion. He played bass in a punk bank, then formed his own alternative rock band in Winnipeg and expanded his role to lead vocalist, bass player and rhythm guitarist. After a brief return to Nova Scotia, Dave moved to British Columbia, where he built a successful business. Music was always close to his heart, and he continued to write songs and develop his skills as a guitarist. In 2011, Dave decided to return his passion, playing professionally and dedicating himself to writing songs. He took the plunge in 2013 and recorded his first album, “Cor-Me-Eh.” He went on to win Vancouver Island Music Awards in 2013 and 2014, and has entranced audiences with his innovative blues-influenced rock style.

Since the release of “Cor-Me-Eh,” Dave’s love of music and dedication to self-improvement has taken him on a complex and fruitful personal journey. Touring, exploring new instruments, and constant immersion in playing music has led to an evolution in Dave’s style and musicality. The result is a collection of polished, well-crafted songs that are reflective of his remarkable talent and insight. Drummer Pat Stewart, bass player Rob Becker, keyboardist Darcy Phillips, and guitarist Zak Cohen are the perfect complement to Dave’s rhythm guitar, smoky vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics. The songs capture the imagination, drawing you in with the energy of the music and the complexity and diversity of the messages.

Music has unchained Dave’s heart, allowing him to be his true self and explore his passion freely. He shares his joy in music, his personal musical and emotional journey – these little pieces of himself -with you.
