Dave Delany

Dave grew up in Rockville Centre, New York, where music became part of his life early through clarinet and saxophone. At the University of Pennsylvania, he added guitar and singing to the mix, beginning a performing career that has spanned more than 20 years, with regular weekly appearances at bars, weddings, and corporate events in New York City and Los Angeles. He also attended the Institute of Audio Research in NYC, working in recording studios at night and on the weekends while simultaneously building his company, Quaker Analytics, which provides data analytics to insurance carriers. Now a River Forest parent with two children at Willard, he continues to perform, mix, and compose music for film and television. He cares deeply about helping kids experience the joy, confidence, and creativity that music brings.
