Dale Webster’s foray into Rock and Roll began when he traded in his saxophone for an electric guitar at the age of 14. By age 16 he was a regular performer at local music venues. The guitar being his main instrument, Dale also began playing the keyboards during his teen years.
Following high school Dale continued to perform music while attending college. After receiving an offer to join a touring Rock and Roll band with Nashville management, he finished college and went on the road. Over the next several years Dale performed extensively across the eastern half of the United States. He began composing his first songs during this time period, and also gained studio-recording experience in Nashville, and Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He played shows with the legendary 1960's duo Jan and Dean during one of their “retro” tours.
Following the signing of a recording agreement with independent record label Brimstone Records in New York, Dale had several musical releases that received radio airplay on college and commercial stations across the nation… and even earned foreign royalties! He later co-wrote music with, and performed with, Ronnie Younkins - former guitarist of Atlantic Records recording group KIX, whose single “Don’t Close Your Eyes” went all the way to #12 on the Billboard charts, and was a hit on MTV.
Dale's songwriting and vocal style is heavily influenced by the sounds from Rock and Roll's golden age - the 60's and 70's. The influence is quite evident in his most recent CD, entitled “About Tomorrow”. Music industry veteran Don Casale took a liking to Dale's music and mastered the 11-song pop/rock CD in Long Island, NY. "This CD only confirms my belief in Dale’s talent. The songs are really very good and his vocals are excellent. He has a vocal sound that’s classically commercial, and is just the kind of artist/writer I’ve always liked. He’s really quite talented," says Casale. Don Casale is best known for engineering/producing Iron Butterfly’s iconic rock epic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida". Casale’s other credits include Meat Loaf, Aretha Franklin, The Rascals, Duane Allman, and Vanilla Fudge.
