Dave Bondy

Dave was drawn to music at an early age, taking piano lessons at 7, playing trumpet and baritone (yes that’s an instrument) in his early teens, before moving to bass guitar in college. He was inspired by the rhythmic and melodic elements of the instrument and took inspiration from such masters of the craft as Phil Lesh, John Paul Jones, Paul McCartney, James Jamerson and Dee Murray. Dave appreciates a wide spectrum of musical genres including rock, jazz, country, funk and reggae. Although he gave up playing for a number of years to focus on his career and family, he renewed his commitment to music and the bass guitar when he, along with Mike Gambro and two other Summit NJ residents formed Lenox Underground after the events of 9/11 encouraged him to reevaluate his priorities.
