Son of Dave is a distinctive act known for his one-man-band style, melding the blues, beatboxing, and a raw, energetic performance style. The man behind Son of Dave is the Canadian-born musician Benjamin Darvill, who began his musical journey as a member of the alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies before striking out on his own. His stage moniker was adopted after his departure from the band in the late 1990s when he moved to London and embarked on a solo career, forging a path that is both nostalgic and avant-garde.

Emerging with a harmonica in one hand, a microphone in the other, and a loop station at his feet, Son of Dave has crafted a sound that is uniquely his, blending traditional blues riffs with modern beats and a charismatic stage presence. Over the years, he has built a rich discography that crosses genres and eras. His most recent releases, including tongue-in-cheek titles like "F That Daily Mail" and "Kick Your Butt," showcase his ability to combine humor and social commentary with foot-stomping rhythms. The gritty, groovy track "Call Me King" and the reflective "Someday Soon" further illustrate his versatility as an artist unafraid to break the mold. With each performance and record, Son of Dave continues to captivate audiences, proving that the blues can indeed evolve in the most unexpected and thrilling ways.
