Welcome to Dave Wiesler's home page. Dave is one of the nation's
premier pianists for country dances and various forms of ballroom dance.
May, 2011. I'll be playing at two dance camps this summer, and both promise to be great. On July 4-8, I'll be at Pinewoods for the English-Scottish Session as music director. There's a terrific music staff lined up, including Earl Gaddis, Paul Woodiel, and Laura Risk on fiddles; Natalie Haas on cello; Doug Creighton and Dan Emery on winds; and Karen Axelrod and me on piano. In August (14th-21st) I'll be playing with my band Goldcrest at the CDSS Adult and Family Week at Timber Ridge in West Virginia. Also there on music staff will be Crowfoot, Steve Hickman, and John Devine, and others. I strongly encourage you to come!
