Dave Foster

LEAD GUITAR…
electric + acoustic


Dave made his Live debut with PANIC ROOM on the 2015 'WILDFIRE’ Tour, playing first as a session musician and then joining the band as a permanent member.

A soulful and elegant player, his technical mastery on both the electric and acoustic guitar allow him a huge vista of creative freedom - which is just perfect for playing with Panic Room!

From big iconic riffs & grooves, through to delicate atmospheric light & shade, there is huge scope for Dave to 'dive in' and really explore the band's music - just like a journey through a new landscape. 

And Panic Room are loving every step of this new adventure together! 


Dave is a consummate musician, and a true asset to any band -
so the Panics feel very lucky to have him joining their ranks! 

With talent and charisma in abundance, his presence will complement and enhance the qualities of PANIC ROOM - this pairing looks set to bring even more creative freedom to a band who already thrive on it, and the results will be fascinating!
