Welcome to Dave Wiesler's home page. Dave is one of the nation's

September, 2009 In June, after nearly three years of sporadic work, intercalated into an increasingly busy family schedule, I finished the Scottish dance CD I'd been working on with fiddler Mara Shea. The recording is called Heather Hills, and it features many of my tunes. Discs are now available for order from my website, as well as CD Baby and TAC Sound. See my discography page for more information.
