Dave Grim
The Voice

Life took a turn when he met his wife of now more than 32 years and he decided it was best to be home and they have raised two wonderful kids. During this nearly 25 year hiatus from the live rock scene he served as a worship musician and as principal lyricist and vocalist for Christian metal outfit “Messiah Prophet”, on their 1996 UCan Records release “Colors”.
Dave returned to the rock scene fronting local 80’s rockers “Time Bomb” in 2018 opening for the likes of 80’s rock acts, “Every Mother’s Nightmare”, “Bang Tango”, “Faster Pussycat”, “Warrant”, “KIX”, and “Stryper”.
