Dave Herrero, originally from Clearwater, Florida got his first taste of the power of blues music by watching Buddy Guy on Austin City Limits as a kid. Hailing from many generations of musicians (his grandfather Luis was one of the first to move to New York from the Dominican Republic in the 1930’s and recorded many records for Victor / RCA with his group “The Dominican Serenaders”) this prompted Dave to start learning how to play guitar and he would sneak out of military school weekly to attend a local blues jam at the Green Iguana in Tampa, Florida frequented by local legends James and Lucky Peterson.

During his time in Chicago, Dave has continued touring and has been blessed to grace the stage many times with the living legend himself who inspired him to learn how to play guitar, Mr. Buddy Guy. When not working on his music publishing and licensing company, “Who’z the Boss Music”, Dave can be found playing at the famed historic Chicago blues club Rosa’s Lounge every Tuesday night with his band, playing with Cesar Rosas’ (of Los Lobos) side project “Cesar Rosas and the Chitown Playboys” and lighting up regional and European festivals.
