With a career spanning four decades and over 100M album sales worldwide, award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, producer, innovator and Eurythmics co-founder Dave Stewart is among the most respected and accomplished talents in popular music history. His wide-ranging work has earned Stewart a long list of prestigious honors, including over fifty ASCAP and BMI Awards, four Ivor Novello Awards for "Best Songwriter," four BRIT Awards for"Best Producer" (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), a Golden Globe Award, and a GRAMMY® Award. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" by Eurythmics was recently inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame® and U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Registry, in recognition of its qualitative and historical significance. Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were among the 2020 inductees into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Also in 2022, with an inspired induction by U2's The Edge, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation welcomed Eurythmics as inductees for their profound impact on music. At both monumental ceremonies, Eurythmics brought the house down with their transcendent performances.
In 2022, Dave Stewart released a critically acclaimed triple-album vinyl box set, Ebony McQueen, one of the most ambitious and autobiographical works of his remarkable life and landmark career; an exhilarating, original musical fable about music and young manhood, finding hard- earned wisdom and true love with the girl next door. Work on the musical feature film of Ebony McQueen is due to start next year, with songs by Dave Stewart and score by Stewart and BAFTA, GRAMMY and ACADEMY AWARD winner A.R Rahman.
In addition, in 2023 Dave completed a unique award winning music short film and album titled "Who To Love," a collaboration between himself, Italian artists Mokadelic and acclaimed actress Greta Scarano, premiering at Rome Festival in October 2023.
In 2023-2024 Dave took his Dave Stewart Eurythmics shows on the road in the UK, Europe and US. Accompanied by his band of virtuoso female musicians, the gigs received huge critical acclaim, with more shows planned.
"An explosive musician, Captain Dave is a dreamer and a fearless innovator, a visionary of high order, very delicately tractable on the surface but beneath that, he's a slamming, thumping, battering ram, very mystical but rational and sensitive when it comes to the hot irons of art forms.." - Bob Dylan
"He is my hero." - Stevie Nicks
"Jack of All Trades Master of All of Them" - The Sunday Times
"He's the musician's musician." - Rolling Stone
