Dave played country music the majority of his life. From the age of 8 at the old ice
house to all around Texas for 23 years, he got married, had a daughter and decided to
stay at home and be a father. June 10, 2001 he gave his life to the Lord and has never
looked back. God laid the words to a song in his heart called Honkytonks to Heaven and
continues to give him lyrics that reflect his life, past present and future, and the chains
that Jesus broke that hot summer night in June on his back porch.
January 2006 he broke back onto the music scene with a bang! With a couple
handfuls of songs that he had written and some he just flat liked, he began the journey
that God now has him on. He began singing and playing again, regaining his stage
presence, vocal ability and picking ability. With less than a years timing, he has done
something that is almost unheard of in the music industry today. January 2007 was the
month that God would open the doors wide open for his music career. Dave signed with
a major Nashville Recording Label as the labels first Christian Country artist which
will go down as a life long memory. Dave also released his first single, Needed,
worldwide. With Needed getting world wide airplay and CD sales booming, Dave is now
planning his first tour with excitement. March 1, released Jesus Thank You, and
completed his first full story lined video for Needed,. September, the much anticipated
third single was released, title cut from the album, Honkytonks to Heaven and is doing
great at radio and charts. Dave is going into the studio to start recording his next
project scheduled for a 2008 release.
With the doors that God has opened, 2007 seems to be the year that put Dave on the
top of the game with 2008 looking promising to be the year that Dave’s music will reach
the world in such a way as not seen very many times, Country music with the message
being all about Jesus.

Dave Pendergraft
Honkytonks To Heaven
This singer-songwriter has been performing music for most of his life, but this is his
first Gospel album. The deep Country roots suggested by the album's title come
shining through in one song after another, many written by Pendergraft himself. The
gut-honest "Saving Grace" reveals a man at the end of himself and his own means.
The heartfelt "Needed" reveals a deep relationship with a blues-beating Savior. And
the storytelling title cut reveals a life lived hard but a spirit left wise. Pendergraft
has a heart as big as all outdoors, and a sound to match. Power Source Magazine

I WAS IN LONGVIEW, TEXAS THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR THE BENEFIT CONCERT
WHICH WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE BY ALL MUSICAINS...BUT THEN ON
SUNDAY DAVE HAD TWO PERFORMANCES OF HIS OWN WHICH I WAS SO BLESSED
WITH HAVING THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO ATTEND. HEY YA'LL, IF YOU HAVE
NOT BEEN TO A DAVE PENDERGRAFT PERFORMANCE, I WOULD STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO TO ONE BECAUSE YOU SURE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE MISSING. IF YOU HAVE DAVE'S CD "HONKYTONKS TO HEAVEN" AND
RELIGIOUS REBEL" THEN MAYBE YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO IMAGINE WHAT A
LIVE PERFORMANCE MIGHT BE LIKE, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE DAVE'S CDS, I
SURE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE WAITING ON. GET THEM BOTH TODAY.
AFTER LISTENING TO DAVE SING ALL OF HIS PRAISES AND GLORY OF JESUS, I
WAS SENT HOME WITH A MORE RICHER AND REJUVENATED FEELING FOR THE
LUV OF JESUS IN MY HEART AND SOUL. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR IF YOU HAVE
THE CHANCE; ATTEND A DAVE PENDERGRAFT PERFORMANCE...CUZ HE
DEFINITELY ROCKS TO THE TUNES OF JESUS IN TEXAS STYLE. Lisa, Nashville TN

IN YOUR SONGS THE STRONG SENSATIONS OF GOD IN YOUR WORDS. YOUR
VOICE YOUR SONGS YOUR WORDS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE STRAIGHT FROM
HEAVEN ABOVE, JESUS IS SURELY WITH YOU. Debbie, North Carolina
Hey Everyone!
Well I am here not to speak so much about the music but more so of the man. I have
gotten to know Dave just a little while ago. I have been to his home and met his
wonderful family and can tell you hospitality at the Pendergraft house is very hard
to beat!
As a musician he is a true professional, not just in music, also in music business and
personal character. His music transcends even farther than he knows and from an
outsiders point of view and in the last year Dave Pendergraft has become a huge
name in the music industry as a Christian country artist and is making his way
toward becoming a music icon in every since of the word.
I am honored to know his family, be affiliated with the same label as Dave, and most
of all to have him as my friend.
My hats off to Dave, not just for being the great artist we have all come to know and
love but for being the man that so many of us cherish as our friend. Gary Helms,
Houston TX
I am here to brag about a wonderful man I met on myspace. I opened an account
here and got my page going. Not to long after that, while browsing through all the
thousands of people. I came across a face that spoke to me. With a sparkle in his eye
and a voice that shot through my heart like an ax I felt I had to get to know him
better.
He is the amazing Dave Pendergraft and I am so honored to say I am his friend.
I must admit I had been pretty close minded about many things before I knew him.
Messages I have received from him made me take a closer look at who I am and what
I want in my life. My attitude has changed, still much room for improvement but I
am going in the right direction, and I feel the more positive about the future.
I know he will feel he had done nothing more than just respond to the mail I sent him
but he has preformed magic on my soul. When I am feeling depressed or life just
seems to be going in a bad direction, I open his page and smile. The worries seem to
fade away.
If you do not know this man you better get to. Look him up, let his music touch your
heart and allow him to bring joy and happiness into your life.
I have not met him and I know there is a chance I never will but none the less I will
forever be touched and I will always hold him in my heart and remember the impact
he has had on my life. Shelley, Canada
I'd have to say that Dave has done a wonderful job on this CD, and it touches my
heart because it relates to my kind of life before I gave in fully to living for God! It's
got some spirit filled songs country style! It'll touch your heart for numerous hours
as you enjoy listening to it over and over! Dave is a very blessed friend to have in
Christian music world of country life! God bless anybody who orders their CD of
HonkyTonks To Heaven! Bob M, New Mexico
Dave Pendergraft has out done himself, with this Cd HonkyTonks to Heaven, It has
blessed my heart. I have enjoyed countless hours listening to it and I can relate with
every song on it. It is an awesome Cd, I would buy it if I were you. Becky Irving,
Delton MI
I have bought two of Dave's CD's. My daughter in law Karen suggested them to me
and I am so glad that she did. You can tell that he sings them from his heart and I
hope that great things happen to his career. Patsey Haynes Houston, TX
Dear Dave,
What a wonderful testimony for Jesus! I had the honor and pleasure of listening to
you and Danny Harris at Cowboy Church in Mt. Pleasant Tx. on March 2nd, 2008. It
was my FIRST time visiting the church, had been wanting to attend for a while.
I happened to be reading the newspaper one day and saw an advertisement in the
newspaper, about you being in concert (actually TWO), I did not go the first time the
advertisement came out, but did so in March, and was so glad I did! I had sooo much
fun! Both you and Danny were AWESOME!
Thank you for blessing me not only with your testimony, but also with your
wonderful songs of Praise...You really blessed ALL of us, hope to see you again!
Bought your video and CD and Danny’s too! Really enjoy them!
Cordially you sister in Christ Jesus,
Gloria
