Dave Sherman, bassist of Spirit Caravan and King Valley and frontman of Earthride, Wretched, Weed Is Weed and Galactic Cross, among others, has died at age 55.
What was Dave Sherman’s cause of death? Though an official cause of death has not been revealed, there are unconfirmed reports he died of a heart-related illness.
The bassist’s death was confirmed by the SPIRIT CARAVAN Facebook page, which shared a photo of the musician and wrote:
Sherman’s former Spirit Caravan and The Obsessed bandmate Scott “Wino” Weinrich paid glowing tribute to Sherman, writing;
Sherman was a founding member of Spirit Caravan alongside Wino. They originally formed the band in 1995 under the name Shine. However, the band changed name to Spirit Caravan in 1997 and stayed together until 2002.
They reformed in 2013 until 2016, when Wino announced that the members of Spirit Caravan would join The Obsessed and the band would play both The Obsessed and Spirit Caravan’s music under the former’s name.
Sherman left The Obsessed later that year after recording bass on 2017’s Sacred.
In addition to those two bands, Sherman played with Earthride, King Valley, Wretched, Weed is Weed and Galactic Cross.
