| | New Orleans JUICE ~~ The band |
 | | His first band, Hoppergrass, made an immediate impact on the Baton Rouge music scene in the early/mid '90's by sharing the bill with such notables as Widespread Panic, George Porter, Merl Saunders, The Aquarium Rescue Unit and The Samples, to name a few. |
 | | As the primary songwriter in the group, Dave’s influences are heard in his writing- from the organic instrumental grooves of the Meters, to the sharp wit and social commentary of Bob Dylan and the rhythmic wordplay of Dr. John. |
 | | He returned to New Orleans in 1998 to "get back to the funk" that he grew up on and, although he had known Dave since the early ‘90’s, they never performed together until Aron joined the band in August 1999. |
