Dave Bourne has been playing piano professionally since his first job in the Calico Saloon at Knott's Berry Farm in 1958.  He is a graduate of USC with a degree in Music Education.  He has played bass and recorded with the “Wagonmasters”, the cowboy group who entertained in the Wagon Camp at Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California from 1955 until 1968.  He was leader of, and recorded with (on tenor horn), the Resurrection Brass Band, a 20 piece New Orleans marching band.  He has released three albums playing cornet with his own “Dawn of the Century Ragtime Orchestra” and three cassettes and one CD playing guitar with his own western singing group, the Lobo Rangers.  He has recorded three CD’s on piano called “Saloon Piano” featuring melodies from 1845 to 1910.  His latest CD is “19th Century Favorites and Rarities” which has Dave playing piano, cornet, alto horn, tenor horn, sousaphone, and banjo in a re-creation of typical town bands and small ensembles of the era.
His saloon piano music was used extensively in the HBO series “Deadwood” where he can be seen as the piano player in the Gem Saloon.
