For over 10 years now, Dave Fiester & The Legendary Groove Monsters have been THE legendary blues band in Central Florida.

Frontman DAVE FIESTER (guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, vocals) is no newcomer to the blues scene. For over 20 years he's played the blues guitar with forceful solos and soaring improvision, letting the tune take him where it wants to go. His vocals & harp playing are highly emotional; his performances are full of expression. Fiester moves his audience...puts them in the "groove."

Fiester was 12 years old when he fell in love with the blues. It was the Muddy Waters' song, "I'm A Man," that did it for him. "I thought it was the coolest music I've ever heard," remembers Dave. His first stage appearances with a high school band made him a local star. Soon after, Fiester fronted "Fresh Squeezed," a double-drumming blues band that toured extensively. Then came "Tight Shoes" which became one of the hottest blues bands in Florida.

In 1980, Fiester accepted an invitation from Henry Paul to join his band. In the following years, Dave recorded three albums with The Henry Paul Band and toured extensively with them, opening for such acts as The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, Rosington Collins Band and Poco. He was the featured vocalist on the single "Long Shot," released by Atlantic Records and, while with Henry Paul, appeared on the television shows Solid Gold and American Bandstand, was in a music video for MTV, and performed a one-hour MTV special, "Live At The Ritz," televised from Los Angeles, CA.

In 1985, The Legendary Groove Monsters were formed, and since then Dave's developed an immense following, and has headlined many blues festivals, and has opened and performed with some true giants and pioneers of blues and rock, including Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton, The Allman Brothers, James Peterson, Charlie Daniels, Molly Hatchet, Tinsley Ellis and more.

Throughout all these years, even when popular music changed style to punk and alternative, Dave Fiester's unique, high-energy, rockin' blues always maintained a faithful following. His fans come out to hear him and his band jam, feeding off each other's instruments like only those musicians can whose "groove" comes from the heart. Dave Fiester & The Legendary Groove Monsters' newest release, "JAMMIN LIVE" (available on CD and tape), captured one of the band's live performances in their home base, Cocoa Beach, Florida.
