Gary David & The Enthusiasts

Gary David and the Enthusiasts have graced the stages of many loved local festivals including: People Fest, 420 Fest, Harvest Fest, Bonfire and Charity Jamboree

Gary David is known around the mid-west scene as “Cookie Dave”; he is loved as much and maybe has more tall tales than fellow kid-western folk hero Paul Bunyan.
