Real name: David Bixby

Effective period / Period of releases: 1970

Folk/rock songwriter, composer, guitarist and vocalist from Rockford, Michigan, USA. After being involved in 1960s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, he started playing acoustic guitar and experimenting with LSD. After a year of drug abuse he felt broken. Starting a soul-searching, spiritual journey, he wrote Ode To Quetzalcoatl and most of the material for his second album, Harbinger’s Second Coming, in just one and a half months. Shrouded in mystery, the legend of Dave Bixby has grown in the recent years. 2023 sees the release of an album by Dave Bixby’s Harbinger Orchestra which combines newly recorded cover tributes (e.g. by members of De Portables) with 4 new Bixby songs.
