Ypsilanti, Michigan-based Paledave, a.k.a. Dave Buehrer, is a recording artist whose songs combine rock guitar with creative arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, and catchy pop hooks. His angst and rock and roll attitude works its way into your cells, but leaves you on a high note. Paledave performs solo, as an acoustic duo (Paledave & Jenny Fair), and with his full band. He began performing his music in 2004 and has 3 album releases - Find What You Love (2004), One Good Leg (2008), and Still Tickets Left (2018). While continuing to perform with his other bands, Outbound Packard and Turner Luce, in 2026 Paledave will be back in the public eye with new songs and shows.
Paledave has been compared by his fans to REM, Michael Penn, The Wallflowers, Tom Petty, and The Replacements (his biggest influence) – but reducing his deeply authentic work to such comparisons doesn’t do him justice. With each listen, you'll hear and feel his own unique brand of rock and roll.
