Son Of Dave

Benjamin Darvill (born January 4, 1967), known by his stage name Son of Dave, is a Canadian singer-songwriter and musician, based in London. He was a member of the folk rock band Crash Test Dummies in which he played harmonica, mandolin, guitar and percussion before returning to his blues, Beat-Box and harmonica driven solo work in 2000. Son of Dave was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was inspired to learn the harmonica after hearing James Cotton and Sonny Terry play at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. He moved to London, England, in 1998 and has remained there since. Son of Dave has recorded six albums to date and performed over eight hundred shows across Europe, as well as performing in Canada, the United States, Australia, South Africa, Uganda, Japan, Russia, and Cuba. Son of Dave appeared on BBC television's Later...with Jools Holland in 2005, performing the song "Hellhound", before recording the song a few years later on the album O3. His 2003 album O2 has been described as a mix of "cotton-pickin' blues, vocalising beat-box, hard-breathing folk, steamy funk and even modern R&B". A song from O2, "Devil Take My Soul", which features chorus vocal by Martina Topley-Bird, was featured in the Warner Bros film, License to Wed, starring Robin Williams. In 2010, the track "Shake A Bone" from the album of the same title, recorded by Steve Albini, was featured on season 3 episode 11 of Breaking Bad. In 2010, Son of Dave and his song "Revolution Town" were featured in a commercial for the search engine Bing. The commercial, using a first-person perspective, shows Son of Dave using Bing and his Windows-enabled phone to travel to his own concert at the Someday Lounge in Portland, Oregon. In 2016, the track "Voodoo Doll" from the album Shake A Bone was featured as the last song in the first episode of Preacher, an AMC series based on the comic book of the same title.
