David Van Pelt

David Van Pelt Up until the age of 12, I had no idea how to play the keyboard (some will say I still don’t).  After hearing “the Final Countdown” by Europe that all changed and I was able to strangely pick up songs by ear.  Long story short, after many different bands, musical styles and indeed keyboards, I was able to take elements from my keyboard heros such as Rick Wakeman, Jens Johansson, and Jon Lord to create my own form of musical performance.  I am currently having a black injecting some vintage 70s soundscapes and searing analog leads into the Acolyte set and can’t wait to hit the touring circuit and meet other musicians.
