Dave has long been known as one of the world’s finest jazz drummers…he’s Barbra Streisand’s drummer! Over the past decade he has built a reputation as a gifted jazz singer and songwriter. His lyrics are compelling and creative. Plus, while he makes you laugh with some song messages, others inspire introspection and soul searching.

Dave Tull has long been known as one of the world’s finest jazz drummers and has also built a reputation as a premiere jazz singer and songwriter. Dave Tull’s latest release, “Texting and Driving” was the #2 most requested new album of 2018 on SiriusXM Real Jazz, and was featured by NPR’s Susan Stamberg on Weekend Edition. Singing from the drums, Dave brings to the stage a rare combination of joyous songwriting, world-class jazz singing and drumming. Think “Frishberg meets Gershwin”. Dave’s songs have been called both “laugh out loud funny” and inspiring of “soul searching and introspection”, propelling “Texting and Driving” to #5 on the Billboard Jazz Chart, and #3 on the Billboard Comedy Chart in the same week, and 23 weeks on the JazzWeek chart! Dave’s celebrated first CD,“I Just Want To Get Paid”, continues to get regular airplay many years after its release. Dave plays drums on four of Michael Bublé’s CD’s including Bublé’s notable version of “Moondance”. Dave has played drums for FOX TV shows and Pixar shorts.
