Dave Gonzalez Biography
Roots rockabilly guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has worked with The Paladins and The Hacienda Brothers.
He and The Paladins lived on the road and toured extensively before gaining any notoriety.
Fender produces his signature model guitar.
He was born and raised in Southern California.
He is often compared to guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Gonzalez plays guitars that reflect his love for the 1950s: a 1953 Gibson and a 1953 Gretsch, and formerly a late-1950s Silvertone. He is endorsed by Fender, which made a Signature Model and as a nod to Gonzalez called it the Guild Paladin (X-550). It was modeled from an original 1957 Guild that Gonzalez played while with the Paladins; it had been refretted so often that, Gonzalez says, the frets “just wouldn’t stay in anymore.” His amplifiers with the Paladins were a Fender Bassman (with four 10″ speakers) and a Fender Super Reverb, and he used an Echoplex.
Dave Gonzalez (born April 24, 1961) is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Southern California and, with Thomas Yearsley, founding member of the roots rock/rockabilly band The Paladins in the early 1980s, and then co-founder with Chris Gaffney of the Hacienda Brothers.
The Paladins were founded in the early 1980s and are still active, though sporadically so. They put out a number of studio albums, but made their reputation on the road, touring constantly in the US and abroad.
In 2003 Dave Gonzalez and fellow veteran musician Chris Gaffney founded the western soul band The Hacienda Brothers. The band received critical recognition for their self-titled debut album and were nominated in 2007 for “Group of the Year” by the Americana Music Association. Their third and last album was wrapped up early 2008, but Chris Gaffney died on April 17, 2008, of liver disease. Dave Gonzalaz oversaw the final production and release of the album, Arizona Motel. In the summer of 2008, Gonzalez organized “a kind of Hacienda Brothers farewell tour as a tribute to Gaffney,” with Dave Alvin as a featured guest for a show in San Francisco.
A certified badass from the Southern California blues scene, Gonzales fronted the Paladins—a roots rock/rockabilly trio that gave him plenty of room to showcase his industrial-strength chops on a Guild X-550 archtop—for more than 20 years. A disciple of legendary West Coast blues guitarist Hollywood Fats—and a big fan of vintage country—Gonzales’ no B.S. style reeks of everything that’s cool about classic American guitar music.
