Dav Mikals

Here is a brief summary of some of the legends I'm working with on several of my Bands and Projects - RANDOM MARY, BLACK TRAIN 27, WHISKEY SAINTS and DAV MIKALS:

Wayne TEX Gabriel - Lead Guitar (John Lennon, Elephant’s Memory, recorded w Mick Jagger, Mitch Ryder, Chuck Berry)

John Souki - Guitar

Dav Mikals – Lead Singer/Songwriter/Founder

Producer - David Z (Prince's "Purple Rain", Etta James, Billy Idol, Fine Young Cannibals)

Producer - Bobby Phillips (RANDOM MARY, BLACK TRIAN 27, WHISKEY SAINTS, DAV MIKALS)

Engineer -- Voytek Kochanek (Usher, Patti LaBelle, Ozzy, Whitesnake, Peter Frampton, and Earth, Wind & Fire fame)

RANDOM MARY's hard hitting rock songs, as well as beautiful ballads, have no genre or language boundaries, and address issues such as slavery (27 million people are presently enslaved), the carnage of heroin, legalization of marijuana, free speech, and the dark side of the music industry.

This international ensemble is comprised of 21 pieces, which includes 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 2 percussionists, 3 guitarists, 1 pedal steel guitarist, 2 keyboardists, 2 violinists, a 5 piece horn section, 1 utility player, and Dav Mikals on Lead Vocals.

RANDOM MARY is not afraid of the dark, and delivers the truth as they see it, addressing everyday issues to a world harnessed by oppression. Freedom is not to be taken lightly, as it comes with great responsibility, accountability, and action, for it is God's greatest gift to us, and no man, government, or religion can take that way.

“RANDOM MARY is more than just a musical experience. It is a lifestyle, an attitude, a cultural movement, and a journey, with poignant messages that exude freedom, touching all generations, ethnicities, and cultures, while embracing all genres,” said Creator and Lead Singer Dav Mikals.
