Dave Wagner

Dave Wagner has been performing professionally since childhood. While growing up, he would often perform with, and be a guest soloist for, Masterworks Chorale, St. Louis Bach Society and the St. Louis Symphony. Dave attended the University of Illinois where he majored in vocal performance. He spent two years performing with the a cappella group The Other Guys, where he met David Reeder and Brian Siedband. During this time, he was fortunate enough to perform in such venues as Yankee Stadium, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, and the Eugene O’Neill Theater on Broadway. After graduating college, Dave opened Super Buddha Recording Studios in Chicago. However, Dave never stopped performing and writing music. Often he would make guest appearances with local Chicago groups singing at such venues as House of Blues. When a major radio station held its own “Chicago Idol” contest, Dave gave serious thought to getting back into performing. After placing third out of nearly 5,000 people, he decided to get out from behind the mixing console and start singing again. Dave has since released a solo CD of original music and has established an 11 piece band. In 2004, he decided to call up Brian Siedband and David Reeder and try to talk them into starting a new a cappella group. You may have heard of them since then.
