His important writings and unique improvisational ideas have been highlighted in Guitar Player magazine’s “Chops Builder”, and “Master Series” columns. “Guitarist Dave Creamer has a remarkable ability to be technically savvy and inventive. Creamer plays with a murky, slithery tone. Creamer glides through his solo lines, barley suggesting his influences, and emerges as a formidable performer.” San Francisco Examiner – Phil Elwood “Dave Creamer” is an artistic treasure that the public should discover.
