Cellist Dave Eggar doesn't like the term "crossover artist." However, he is happy to "cross through" multiple genres of music on the way to achieving a really distinct sound.
Eggar will be performing in Knoxville this Wednesday, April 20th, at Preservation Pub at 6 pm with his band Deoro. Their sound is a synthesis of classical music, jazz, and reggae.
Eggar's most recent CD, Kingston Morning, was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Instrumental Arrangement category. When one learns that the album was recorded in Brooklyn NY, Kingston Jamaica, and Big Stone Gap Virginia and features Ralph Stanley--further description is hardly necessary.
Eggar is a graduate of Harvard and holds a Doctors of Cello Performance from the Juilliard School.
