Dave Brown

For more than two decades now, I've pursued music as a career both as a performer, as well as an educator.

As a performer, I've worked in countless bands of most genres including for music theater productions with Berkshire Theatre Group and Barrington Stage Co. and even as a showband musician for Carnival Cruise Lines.

Currently, I'm self employed as private lessons instructor for guitar, bass, mandolin, ukulele and piano. However, over the years I've taught for many different schools and stores including as adjunct faculty for Berkshire Community College, as well as for Jamplay.com where I would plan 10 week courses and teach the lessons via livestream.

In pursuit of my passion, I've ended up learning numerous software for skills such as video conferencing, scheduling, billing, graphic design, website building, audio/video editing, data entry, social media and other admin roles.

Although I've primarily have been a musician and teacher for the past 20+ years, I have also worked at several other jobs since the age of 13, primarily in the field of customer service.

In education, I've worked as a tutor, a substitute, a teacher's aid and was even English Assistant in France after college.

My restaurant work includes Starbucks, the Dakota Steakhouse and Burger King.

Other jobs I've worked at are the Lipton Mart gas station, food delivery with Postmates and a brief stint in the cannabis industry before Covid hit.
