Club Dv8 Band.
Admission to the concerts is free and takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m
– The City of Atascadero is gearing up for the next upcoming concert as part of the 2023 Saturdays in the Park summer concert series. The next band to perform on Saturday, July 1 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. is 80’s dance/rock group Club Dv8 Band at the Atascadero Lake Park Bandstand.
The Club Dv8 Band turned their idea into reality while drummer Jim Moran vacationed in New York in 2017. He brought this idea to guitarist Scott Grocott, who played in local cover bands, and the plan began to unfold. Scott added a guitar synth to his gear and they met lead singer David Vail who was a perfect fit. The band soon added a fellow bassist, Bob Erwin, and from there another lead guitarist, Keith Powers, who was even in an ’80s band in the ’80s. Shortly after Bob moved on, they met their permanent bassist, Paul Choboter, who also contributed great backup vocals to the group.
The Club Dv8 Band’s name comes from a dance club from the 80’s in San Francisco, “Club Dv8”. After a few variants, DV8D and DV8, the band realized the name should be Club Dv8, with the mission to make their band a dance party every time and everywhere they perform. The band’s set consists of energetic 80’s music.
Food and drinks can be purchased at Paradise Shaved Ice and Bear City Social.
