David Saitta (guitar and vocals), Carmichael Greyhat (drums), and Jay McBurney (bass) formed CHERRY DRIVE in the winter of 2007. Saitta, originally inspired by the rock music of the 1950’s and 60’s, found a cutting edge for his original songs with the addition of Greyhat’s metal-influenced drumming and McBurney’s driving bass lines.
So they formed a rock ‘n roll band…

CHERRY DRIVE’s live music sets range from surf-rock instrumentals, rockabilly and country-western music, to pulse-pounding disco and ‘80’s glam-rock anthems. This has resulted in “crowds whipped into such a rock 'n' roll frenzy that they spontaneously shed their underthings” (Rocky Mountain News).
CHERRY DRIVE recorded their first studio album at Timewave Productions Recording Studio in 2009 with engineer and producer Andrew Harling. “There is something very special about a band that can write songs like “School Fatality” or “Baby-Come-Lately”— songs with melodies that sound like they’ve just been around forever…” (Steve Trevis, Village Voice).
CHERRY DRIVE has played to audiences at great venues like Old Curtis St. Bar, Herman’s Hideaway, The Rocket Room, The Skylark, Three Kings Tavern, Benders Tavern, and The Little Bear, and they have also been featured in Colorado Music Buzz and the Rocky Mountain News.
