Dave Lockhart

Dave Lockhart is a bassist and songwriter who has, in recent years, entrenched himself in the sonic labyrinth of Mythology, contributing ballast, resonance, and the occasional thunderclap to the band’s audacious soundscapes. A veteran of countless stages and recording studios, Dave approaches music with a dual sensibility: exacting precision intertwined with a relentless devotion to groove. Within the trio’s kaleidoscopic world, where rhythmic complexity, irreverent humor, and unflinching rock ferocity entwine, he serves as both anchor and provocateur. Ever attuned to the interplay of gravity and levity, Dave magnifies the alchemy that makes each performance unpredictable yet unmistakably Mythology.

Outside the band’s orbit, Dave’s résumé is as polyphonic as his playing. He has recorded nearly thirty albums, performed on international stages, and traversed idioms spanning orchestral gravitas, bluegrass twang, indie rock bite, and the improvisatory flights of jazz. By day, he shepherds young musicians as a public school strings teacher, passing along both craft and curiosity in equal measure. Within Mythology, however, he has located a rare convergence: technical rigor colliding with absurd camaraderie, resulting in music that is as exhilarating to perform as it is confounding to categorize. For Dave, the band embodies a credo he holds dear, that art at its best is both a serious pursuit and a glorious game.
