Dave Dederer is likely best known as one of the founding members of The Presidents of the United States of America, the band known for such hits as Lump, Kitty, Peaches and the Drew Carey Show theme song Cleveland Rocks. Dave no longer tours with the band, but he remains actively involved in band business affairs and is on the cutting edge of identifying opportunities for musicians to prosper. At Gnomedex 6, Dave opened with a song and led a discussion on how grassroots media, podcasting, and the Internet are changing the way musicians and fans interact and engage.
