Lonesome Dave Fisher has had a musical life; as the youngest son in a travelling family, regional American music worked its way into everyday life. As a young boy in San Antonio and Austin he tagged along to the Outlaw Country radio stations where his older brother and father both worked and attended shows in dancehalls and outdoor festivals such as Willie Nelson’s 4th of July picnic. In his junior high years, he attended both country music fan conventions and arena rock concerts in Nashville. In high school, he jumped onstage with a guitar or bass any chance he could- first with young punk bands in Detroit as his dad worked in an auto factory, then later with Tejano bands outside of little Temple, Texas. Returning to Austin as an adult, he toured the southern states with his surf trio The Swanktones opening for many national acts including Reverend Horton Heat, Agent Orange, and the Beach Boys. He fronted both an alternative country band (The Heroes of the West) and a honky tonk classic cover group (The Outlaw Playboys) before joining Roy Heinrich and the Pickups (Stockade Records) as a lead/baritone guitarist, doubling on mandolin. This was followed by a stint as a lead guitarist in touring rock group Stickpony (Club du Musique Records). He’s been leading his own group and performing his own material as Lonesome Dave Fisher since 2007.
