Dave Elwert

Dave Elwert is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter based in Indiana. He’s toured nationally as drummer, playback engineer, and music director for artists like Runaway June, Kellie Pickler, and Logan Mize—but his heart lives in the studio. From his home base, Dave writes, records, and produces music for himself and others with a focus on honesty, emotion, and longevity.

His 2021 release BULLETS, written and recorded during the 2020 shutdown, reflects that ethos—raw, introspective, and unfiltered. Raised on a mix of Motown, Springsteen, and Beach Boys harmonies, Dave was shaped by ’90s alt rock and later drawn to piano-driven artists like Ben Folds and Bruce Hornsby. The result is a wide-open sound that blends Pop, Rock, Americana, and Indie influences—distinct yet hard to pin down.

In 2025, he stepped away from touring to reclaim space for personal growth and original work. That shift sparked his most ambitious project to date: a new self-produced album showcasing his full range as a writer, player, and engineer. While always open to collaboration, Dave is currently focused on making meaningful music that reflects where he’s been—and where he’s going.
