David comes from a long line of drummers who saw to his musical education from an early age. Spending his formative years studying and playing jazz, big band, classical and rock music, he eventually set the sticks aside to study theatre. Fresh from Chicago where he spent some years weaving in and out of plays, independent films and the odd rock band, he is happy to be back to throwing some sticks and brushes around for Eveleth Jazz.

Shooby is a native of Verona, NJ, where he formed many musical collaborations in his early career in High School, and while attending Rutgers University for music. He has worked with a number of popular rock & jazz groups in the New Jersey/New York area, including Robbie LaFalce's early group "The Miasmics", Stephanie White and "The New Jersey Philtharmonic" and currently graces the horn section of 3rdValve Rock. We are happy to have Shooby in the our lineup, where he adds his great solos and his sweet Tenor sound to the group.
