Dave Critchley is a native of New England who learned to play the guitar and bass, at an early age. Dave played in various bands and combos throughout High School and College, turning professional after graduation.

With the added responsibilities of a wife and children, Dave put his musical ambitions on hold to pursue a 40 year career as an engineer in Aerospace, designing and developing gadgets, devices, and systems he’s not allowed to talk about.

Upon his retirement and the purchase of a new home in The Villages, Dave sought to ‘resurrect’ his musical ambitions and began playing with friends and clubs in The Villages.

Today, Dave can be seen playing with ‘Abby Road Forever’, ‘The Beatlemaniacs’, ‘The Classic Mix’, and jamming with friends all around The Villages.
