BIOGRAPHY:
Sure, Dave Beegle plays guitar. In fact, he plays guitar so well that peers such as Phil Keaggy calls him "one of the most creative and accomplished guitarists I've met." Progression Magazine labeled Beegle "a guitarist's guitar player" and HM Magazine simply called him "just phenomenal." But Beegle is not "just" a guitarist. He is also a composer, a producer, a teacher, and a musical activist remaining on the cutting edge of contemporary music. Hailing from the robust state of Colorado, Beegle makes an inspired sound that delights music fans willing to look beyond the fickle trends of pop. http://www.davebeegle.com/discography.php
Dave Beegle's latest album, "Beyond the Desert", features Dave Beegle Acoustic Band, a unit including Bassist Mike Olson, Drummer Matt Henderson, percussionist Erik Meyer, and Guitarist Aaron Lee. Guest percussionist Christian Teele adds significantly to the overall rhythmic expression of this recording. The group has been performing together for several years and has created a distinctive world-music sound as a result. The CD is a blend of world and Ethno-alternative fusion with A Hearty kick of rock-n-roll inspired energy, leaving this Progressive Acoustic contribution in a unique musical atmosphere sure to interest those with exotic and sophisticated tastes. From Spanish and Flamenco melodies to Middle Eastern and Balkan flavored arrangements, the Dave Beegle Acoustic Band will take you on a journey 'Beyond the Desert' to a place of tuneful bliss.
Where it all began, however, was with Beegle's electric guitar outlet, Fourth Estate. This groundbreaking power trio led the charge of progressive rock in Colorado in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. To this day, Beegle still books Fourth Estate gigs, playing with Kenny James and Matt Henderson on Drums and Mike Olson on Bass and Fourth Estate's instrumental music remains dramatic, inspiring, and exotic. New and old Fourth Estate fans are currently enjoying the re-release of the band's debut CD, "Finesse and Fury," re-mastered by rock veteran Stevin McNamara. Another release, "Dustbuster Demos," digs back into the group's earliest recordings to uncover some forgotten gems. Also, Fourth Estate's Electric Masterpiece, "See What I See," featuring their most challenging work on record, has been reissued to offer fans the opportunity to hear it all.
It makes sense that so much musical knowledge has been put to work on a wide diversity of other projects. In fact, "Clear the Tracks" is a CD release that pulls together recordings Beegle has done solo and with several band groupings, including Artifact Symphony and Blinddog Smokin'. On stage, Beegle continues to gig with his Classic rock band, the Jurassicasters. But also add Beegles tremendous output as a producer. He has recently produced a new album for Christian acoustic artist Danny Oertli, an alternative rock worship album titled "Live for Heaven," as well as music by contemporary Christian group Simple Truth, the new band helmed by Colorado Guitarist Mike Lopez called Gashead, and Montana Singer-songwriter Bob Hollister. Of course, Beegle not only sits on the producer's side of the glass, but also appears as A Guest Artist on many of the recordings, playing both Guitar and Keyboards.
Dave Beegle also teaches-when he has time. He also continues to demonstrate the Transperformance Automatic Tuning Guitar, featuring the innovative Digital Tuning System. The device allows guitarists to access thousands of tunings at the touch of a finger. This groundbreaking technology has attracted some of the great Guitarists of our era, including Joe Perry, Jimmy Page, and Graham Nash. But Beegle was the first to record with it, on "Finesse and Fury," and to this day, he still introduces the innovative instrument at conventions and special events. Transperformance is currently developing a low cost version of the DTS the can be installed into other Guitars, hinting at a whole new era for the electric guitarists of the world.
So go ahead; call Dave Beegle a guitarist. But in this case, the guitarist is only part of the more complete musician-one who lives and breathes music. That's why Guitar Magazine declared that Dave Beegle is "a one-man guitar army." That's why this artist, though he has done plenty, may only be starting to scratch the surface. Beegle continues to play in the Colorado region as well as touring throughout several regions of the US. Hear him live, or hear him on record, the results are the same-awe and respect for a special musician that Great Guitar Sites on the Web called "One of the most renowned underground guitarists of our time.".
Dave Beegle has got to be the most criminally underdiscovered guitarist in the instrumental rock genre. The guitarist, along with Fred Babich on bass and Dave Spurr on drums comprise Fourth Estate, a Colorado-based power trio whose CD See What I See is a scorching combination of arpeggiated lines, power chords, Robin Trower-like grooves and attitude. Beegle and company write instrumental music that combines fat-toned emotional fury with inventive guitar work and aggressive arrangements. While drawing comparisons to the likes of Rush and Kings X, neither band has released a record as refreshing and brilliant as See What I See.
Beegle began early, playing piano at age 5 and guitar at age 13. His early influences included jazz musicians such as Dave Brubeck and Glen Miller to '70s guitar-based bands such as KISS, Ronnie Montrose, Rick Derringer and, of course, Rush. Beegle currently produces and engineers a variety of projects in the Rocky Mountain region while working on his own material. His band, Fourth Estate, has released two studio albums, Finesse And Fury and See What I See, as well as a live CD, Joy In Rock. Beegle expects to release a solo record that will be primarily progressive acoustic guitar in 1998.
Interestingly, Beegle points to the 1994 Arts Fest in Sofia, Bulgaria as the inspiration for the music on See What I See. The musicians in Fourth Estate try, within the rock spectrum, to create mood and texture that allow the listener to imagine for themselves the meanings of the themes and musical impressions. As a result, Beegle, Babich and Spurr find themselves at the forefront of instrumental rock, blazing a trail for creative musicians everywhere.
One of the most musical, innovative and exciting groups to ever emerge out of the Rocky Mountain music scene. Performing since 1988, Fourth Estate has released three demo-tapes and three full length compact discs. In 1992, the band released the critically acclaimed Finesse and Fury CD, which featured the first ever recording utilizing the revolutionary Transperformance Self-Tuning Guitar on the song "Routier." Guitarist Dave Beegle and company set out to test the boundries of progressive instrumental music with a fiery mix of lush and masterful soundscapes complemented by ferocious guitar assaults.On November 14th, 1995, the release of See What I See occured. A truly amazing recording that came out right when instrumental music was at an ALL TIME low in regards to the music business. Numerous national and international reviews, articles, and interviews still praised the band's musical approach and boasted about the powerful, visionary recording. In late '97, the band released a limited edition live CD titled "Joy in Rock" which features some truly stunning live performances and a raw, live, loose feel you don't hear much in todays music. The band is also in the process of putting material together for a late 1998 or early 1999 release entitled War of the Worlds Veterans in terms of musicianship, production and performance, Fourth Estate continues to write their own chapter in Rock N' Roll history.(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
