I was introduced to Big Dave and the Ultrasonics by a friend recently. He loaned me a copy of "No Sweat"
I really liked the CD especially "Letter From St Louis"
Dave Morris was the harmonica player and played both diatonic and chromatic.
They recorded their 3 CDs in the 90's and just wondered if anyone knew if Dave Morris was still playing?

I saw on one of the CD's I had Richard Sliegh did his harps for him.

Dave is living in Boise and head of the Treasure Valley YMCA there. He also DJs at Radio Boise FM 89.9

He really isn’t playing in a band but sometimes sits in with Doug Deming when either they go back to Ann Arbor or Doug is in the PNW.

"No Sweat" is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard, btw...

Thanks for the update, it's a shame he's not so active. I really like his playing and would have liked to hear more of his work. Great player.

I agree with you on the "No Sweat" recording.
