In their own words…The Greater Good…
We are an acoustic duo based in Northern Devon and we’re really excited about playing our own style of acoustic covers for you all!
Our own music tastes are eclectic, which is reflected in our set list which covers a huge range of styles and influences but hopefully means that we have something for everyone!
The Greater Good (and bonus points to anyone who gets the reference!), comprises of Dave Stacey on Guitar and Charmain Lovett on vocals.
Dave has been playing guitar since he was 15 and attended the ACM when he was 18. This led to him playing with the likes of Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Reef, Skunk Anansie and a couple of appearances on TOTP.
Since then he played for a wide variety of bands and groups across the country at various festivals and events, including playing at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.
Charmain is nowhere near as cool as Dave and hasn’t played with a member of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, but she did once have Grammy Award winning Joss Stone as a backing singer and will dine out on that story for as long as is necessary.
Charmain has been singing with function bands since the age of 17 and locally will be most known for being a part of the Make Me Smile Band and Sonic Fusion and although she doesn’t have any music qualifications, she did get a gold star for playing Little Donkey on the recorder particularly well at the age of 8.
After a fantastic crowd pleasing set last year we are chuffed that the The Greater Good are back for 2023
