Dave vonKleist
I am Dave vonKleist and first off, I want to thank you for visiting my website!
Here you will find a collection of my past works, a mix of music, video, commentary and opinions compiled from my career spanning over three decades.
Music, voices, humor, drama, social and political responsibility. These are the values and aspirations that have guided and directed my life. Through the years, I have been blessed with the opportunities to express myself through my music and voice in ways that I could never have dreamed of.
I must say, It’s been a wild ride the past fifty years, being a musician, performer, comedian, teacher, activist, talk-show host, public speaker, video producer and I am proud of what I have accomplished.

The Beginning
Dave vonKleist became a professional musician at the tender age of nineteen with a folk-rock band, (Dandelion Wine, produced by Richie Havens)
Playing guitar, singing and entertaining people who appreciated his gifts was like a drug that only strengthened his resolve to make the audience feel as good listening to my performance as good as he felt performing for them.

The All Dave Band
Dave vonKleist was Beat Boxing since before Beat Boxers were born.
The “Baheebadoba” was the first tune, done in 1979 as an experiment. After being encouraged to record enough music to “Take the show on the road another 10 songs were recorded.

Five years later Bobby McFarrin did the exact same thing with "Don't worry, be happy".
