The David Spitzfaden Trio is composed of Baltazar Montoya on bass, Riku
Myllykoski on drums, and David Spitzfaden on guitar and lead vocals. Meeting at
Los Angeles College of Music, they quickly realized their combo was the perfect
mix of stylistic diversity and devotion to excellent musicianship. This coupled
with their strong work ethics, complementary personalities, and a desire to have
fun, while putting on the best show possible, inspired them to create the David
Spitzfaden Trio in December of 2020. Now, all graduates of LACM, they are
frequently hired to perform at many special events, private parties, celebrations,
and venues throughout California, including the legendary Rainbow Bar and Grill
and Hard Rock Café, in Hollywood. They’ve also played at The NAMM Show
and The San Diego County Fair, for the last couple of years. Performing a mix of
blues rock, R&B, funk, jazz fusion, and pop—originals and covers—they take
their audiences on a unique musical journey. Their uplifting, playful, and positive
spirits create an exciting and welcoming atmosphere at their shows—that virtually
any and every demographic can enjoy. Known for being friendly and easy to
connect with, everyone who attends a David Spitzfaden Trio show not only enjoys
the live music—but also gets a chance to feel a warm sense of community with
the band and all present.
