Dave Allen (July 2005 Issue)
Everywhere With Michelle Branch

Flip around MTV or VH1 and you're likely to catch Dave Allen in one of Michelle Branch's hit videos. Dave is part of Michelle's touring band, and they're currently on a world tour. "We've been so busy promoting The Spirit Room," Dave enthuses. "It's been great. And I just heard that the record is number-1 in Australia!" That's music to Dave's ears, because that's his home country. "I left Australia seven years ago and moved to New York City," he says. "But the climate was too much of an adjustment, so I moved to LA."

Hard work and perseverance has surely paid off for Dave. Besides performing with Branch, he and his fellow bandmates have their own project called TV Nation, which Dave describes as a pop/rock band with a lot of soul. "Michelle has been kind enough to let us open up for her on occasion," Dave says. "It's just another way for me to be creative."
