Driveway Dive is a local independent DFW rock band based out of Plano, TX. The band formed in 2018 when Gabe Gotay, Jacob Essy, and Sebastian Hardy moved in together. While Gabe primarily played guitar, he also had a drum set that he setup in their new garage. While his new roommates were initially annoyed, Jacob quickly picked up the sticks and Sebastian joined soon after on bass. After a few months of jamming, Gabe called his old college friend Joshua Stone to join them as a singer and second guitarist.

Over the past 3 years they have played all around DFW; from local bars and breweries to clubs like Sundown at Granada, Ruins, The Foundation Room, as well as private events and annual charities such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk, Big Climb Dallas, or the North Texas Pride Festival in Plano and Frisco.

In May of 2022 they went to Reeltime Audio Recording Studio in Denton, Texas where Eric Delegard (famous for producing the first 3 Bowling for Soup records in that studio) helped them record their 9 best originals. The album released on September 23rd, and the band played a celebratory show at Sundown at Granada. They continue to play with other local bands and open for touring acts in the DFW market.
