Chicago Winds...The Saga Continues;

With his eighth forthcoming album, Chicago Winds...The Saga Continues, Dave Hollister sings like a new man one who has learned a few lessons in love, knows how to woo his woman and is transparent about everything from transgressions to doing tantalizing things in public.

Hollister states: I used to be a hard drinker and substance abuser. The first time I was married, I loved my two sons, but the marriage eventually fell apart... Now, I know what love is. I ve changed my path. I m a messenger, and I want my music to change other people s lives as well.

Naturally then, Chicago Winds...The Saga Continues is an album about growth. Fittingly, the first released track, Spend The Night is a declaration of a lifetime commitment to his second wife.

While the album is slated for a fall release, Dave already has a favorite track. Where Spend The Night is provocative, Take This Picture is a modern, titillating take on public displays of affection. No need to hide how we get down / I want the world to know / The world would be a much better place if we all let our love show, he croons.

Dave continues: We re in public taking selfies and people are looking on like, Why don t they just get a room. But since we don t care, we want people to take a picture so they can see what real love looks like.

The foundation of Chicago Winds...The Saga Continues is classic R&B, which Dave refers to as real music sans techno-heavy electric synthesizers. He s a true vocalist, though he s quick to tell you the story of how his voice matured.

Hollister: Back in the days when I abused drugs and alcohol, my voice sounded strong, but it wasn t. Now that I don t do that anymore, my voice is truly stronger. I m very, very blessed because a lot of people that did as much and partied as hard as I did, lost their voices. But, God has preserved my voice.
