In this episode of the Steamboat Sound Check Podcast, presented by McCreight Progressive Dentistry, we sit down with Dave Halchak, the multifaceted frontman of Giant Walking Robots and Wake Up and Live, Denver’s long-running Bob Marley tribute band. As part of our winter series highlighting the talented musicians gracing the stage at Schmiggity’s, Dave shares his journey from his East Coast roots in New Jersey to the heart of Denver’s vibrant music scene, where he masterfully blends reggae, rock, and jamtronica into a genre-defying sound.
Dave opens up about balancing his roles as a musician, music booker, and family man, as well as the creative process behind Giant Walking Robots’ latest album, Wake Up. He also gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming 13th annual Bob Marley Birthday Celebration, where his tribute band will perform Marley’s iconic Exodus album. With humor and heart, Dave reflects on what makes Steamboat audiences and the Schmiggity’s stage so special, and we find out if the rumor that he snowboards in jeans is true!
