Dave Cohen

Producer, Musician

Originally from Calgary, Alberta Canada, keyboardist Dave Cohen has spent the past 10 years in Nashville, garnering accolades that most musicians could only hope to achieve. Cohen first got his start touring with stand-out Canadian acts such as Johnny Reid and Amanda Marshall. After moving to the states and hitting the road to play for country icon Joe Nichols and hit-makers like Big & Rich and Wynonna, Cohen stepped away from touring in 2013 to focus on fine-tuning his talent strictly as a studio musician, songwriter, and producer.

Cohen has since played on countless No. 1 hits by music’s biggest stars including Post Malone, Rascal Flatts, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Ed Sheeren, Brett Eldredge, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Jon Pardi, Lauren Alaina, Kip Moore, Old Dominion, Chris Lane and more.

Awards: ACM Keyboardist of the Year 2016, 2018, 2020, & 2022; ACM Album of the Year 2021; Music Row Keyboardist of the Year 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023. Dave has also played on over 100 #1 songs.
