He has had the music in him all his life. Son of New Jersey-based jazz trombone legend Bud Hartkern, Grateful Dave entered life into a musical family, studying voice, trumpet, percussion, and acting. Playing in bands since college, Grateful Dave has performed actively on the NJ/NY club/bar circuit, including Asbury Park's legendary Stone Pony. Most recently Grateful Dave has been spied sneaking small percussive instruments into his daughter’s toy box. Grateful Dave is Dad to 7-year old Camryn.
