Dave Roe >RIP

[Michael Messer]

Very sad to hear that Nashville based bass player extraordinaire, Dave Roe, has just died. I met Dave in London in 1994 because he was playing with Johnny Cash, which he did for eleven years. Dave was a really nice and such a powerful musician. As well as that amazing gig, Dave played with many great artists - Billy Burnette, Mel Tillis, Vern Gosdin, Charlie Louvin, Dottie West, Chet Atkins, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam, John Mellencamp, Sturgill Simpson, Chrissie Hynde, Taj Majal, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Ian Hunter, Brian Setzer, Dan Auerbach, CeeLo Green, Kurt Vile, Yola, John Anderson, Carrie Underwood, Marcus King, Malcolm Holcombe, Brandy Clark, Joe Ely, Gretchen Peters, Ray LaMontagne, Jake Bugg, Richard Lloyd, Don Schlitz, Faith Hill, Duane Eddy, Kathy Mattea, Rodney Crowell and others. That's quite a list.







Here's a photo my brother, Alan, took in 1997.



I am sure that Nashville media will be full of the news of Dave's passing when they wake up in a few hours.

Condolences to Dave's family and friends.
