Dave Stewart, best known as one half of Eurythmics, is a multi-instrumentalist who delivered some of the percussion as well.



Dave Stewart enjoyed his first taste of musical success during the early 1970s while fronting the band Longdancer. The group seemed poised for big things after signing to Elton John's Rocket Records, but they quickly fizzled out.



Dave Stewart soon resurfaced in a variety of short-lived groups, and eventually began writing songs with friend Peet Coombes. In the late 1970s he was also introduced to an aspiring singer named Annie Lennox; the two became lovers, and with Coombes they formed a group dubbed the Tourists, issuing a trio of new wave-influenced LPs between 1979 and 1980.



When the Tourists came to a halt in late 1980, Stewart and Lennox's romance ended as well; they agreed to continue their musical partnership, however, rechristening themselves Eurythmics.



After 1989's album 'We Too Are One' the Eurythmics essentially disbanded. In 1990 Dave he put together a new band, the Spiritual Cowboys, with ex-Pretenders drummer Martin Chambers.



In 1995, Dave Stewart finally issued his proper solo debut, 'Greetings From the Gutter'.



Dave is also a succesful producer who has produced music for Aretha Franklin, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and the Neville Brothers among others.
