DAVE BENNAGE DAVE IS ORIGINALLY FROM UP-STATE NEW YORK BUT HAS CALLED CENTRAL FLORIDA HOME NOW FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS. HE HAS NEVER TOURED WITH ANYONE BUT HAS BEEN ACTIVE LOCALLY IN SEVERAL POPULAR BANDS INCLUDING "PRIVATE PROPERTY". HE HAS A GOOD EAR FOR THE SOUND WHICH HAS BECOME "KID RIDLYN" AND HIS PLAYING ROUNDS OUT THE SOLID BASE OF THE BAND. HE ADDS ANOTHER STRENGTH TO THE BLUESY ROCK SOUND THAT WE HAVE COME TO LOVE IN KID RIDLYN!!! DAVE ENJOYS WATCHING MOVIES WHEN HE'S NOT ROCKIN'. SOME OF HIS FAVORITES INCLUDE MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS AND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE KEVIN COSTNER FILMS. HIS TASTE IN MUSIC RANGES FROM AC/DC TO SOME OF THE NEW COUNTRY MUSIC. AS FAR AS GUITARIST GOES, DAVE HAS ALWAYS PREFERRED THE LATE GREAT RONNIE GARVIN FROM THE STRANGER BAND.
