David Chiappetta and Steadfast Charlie

Dave Chiappetta was a founding member of Jam Band Blind Man's Sun. Blind Man's sun toured the northeast several times playing with such acts as Moe, The Samples, and Maceo Parker.

Dave Chiappetta then went on to explore many years of orchestral concert composing in Los Angeles which lead to film scoring and TV/stage arranging. - American Idol, Broadway, Nita Whitaker....etc. At this time Dave was also producing several NYC artists and touring such notable venues as Webster Hall, The Highline Ballroom, The Viper Room, The Belly Up, and The Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.

Dave always tried to use the same players for any project he was working on - Sean Dixon on Drums, Scott Chasolen on Keys, and Adam Minkoff on Bass. In 2009, Dave, Sean, Scott, and Adam were at a rehearsal for Liam Goodwin and before the rehearsal the band had some time to loosen up and just jam. Dave Chiappetta recalls the experience to have been very special and it was the inspiration that grew to become Dave Chaippetta and Steadfast Charlie.

Dave started writing for Steadfast Charlie in October of 2010 and on December 4th 2010, Dave Chiappetta and Steadfast Charlie had their first performance
