Welcome to THE INSPECTORS!
First, since many have asked to see Dave's pictures, go to:

and, for his own work in progress website:

The main man for THE INSPECTORS is Groovus, aka Dave Owen, who, like many musicians now, is a multi-instrumentalist. Groovus is mainly a guitar & bass player/vocalist, but also plays keyboards, drums and any other instrument that will make the song.
Groovus has also supplied background music and accompaniment for other musicians and projects. Currently, Dave has been working with a local artist, TOM SMITH, where they have recently released a CD entitled "OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS". The CD contains standard pop songs of Tom Smith's vocal stylings with musical accompaniment, arrrangements, performances and production by Dave Owen. Tom and Dave have been recording for over twenty-five years (but, that doesn't mean that we're old! We started playing when we were infants...)
Another person Dave works with is KEITH LISLE, a California based musican and guitar luthier (he recently completed a commissioned custom acoustic guitar for Judge Judy Scheindlin) who works in the TV industry, and also records in his own 32-track studio in Burbank. Dave and Keith have collaborated over the long past in bands and recording projects, and continue to do so where Keith will produce some of the material for Dave's upcoming CD project.
JOHN LEE, another member of Dave's musical "posse", has collaborated and recorded with Dave, in particular on one of John's compositions, "The Ballad of Davey O". John is an original "Inspectors" member, going back decades.
Watch for some excerpts from Dave's own upcoming CD where his own original tunes and interpretations of other pop/rock songs are showcased!
