David Denny (born February 5, 1948, Berkeley, California) is an American rock guitar player and founding member of Frumious Bandersnatch, a seminal psychedelic rock band from 1960's San Francisco. Denny was a member of the Steve Miller Band, playing on 1977's Book of Dreams, Greatest Hits 1974-1978 (released in 1978, sold over 13 million copies), and 1993's Wide River. Denny wrote the hit song "The Stake" (Book of Dreams, Greatest Hits 1974-1978) and "Circle of Fire" (Wide River). While running a Mission District studio during the late 1980s, Denny contributed his guitar and vocal talents as a founding member of The Bombay Crawlers and played several Bay Area gigs with the rock ensemble. He later released two albums with his Diesel Harmonics band, Diesel Harmonics (1991) and Louisiana Melody (1997).[1] Denny and ex-wife Kathy Peck (Executive Director & Co-Founder of H.E.A.R., former bass player for The Contractions) are artists, songwriters, film score composers, music publishers and owners of Monima Music.[2][3] Denny recently released two full-length solo albums, Take a Deep Breath (2022) and Agree to Disagree (2023) with Co-Producer Michael Hurwitz.
