Dave Cobb (born July 9, 1974) is a Grammy award–winning record producer who is based out of Nashville, Tennessee, most well known for producing the work of Shooter Jennings, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell.
Cobb was born in Savannah, Georgia to Mary Cobb (née Floyd) and David Cobb, Sr. He went to The Cottage School in Roswell, Georgia.
Cobb said his family was very religious, were active in the Pentecostal faith (his maternal grandmother was a minister). Cobb started out playing drums and taking guitar lessons at church when he was four years old.
When Cobb was first starting out in music, he worked as a session player in Atlanta. He joined the band The Tender Idols, featuring Ian Webber (vocals), Danny Howes (guitar), Guy Strauss (Drums) and Joe Jones (bass). They released three LPs, the second of which Dave Cobb co-produced. They signed with Emagine Records based in New York. Cobb played guitar and bass and was in the band for seven years. He was involved in the recording process, which got him interested in being in the studio, and led to him recording other bands he was friends with. The record contract was very restrictive and took a long time to get out of.
From when he was 27 years old, Cobb lived in Los Angeles, where he went after moving on from the band. He lived there from 2004 to 2011, eventually moving to Nashville in 2011.
Cobb considers Shooter Jennings family. The two have worked together for a long time, since they met in California via Cobb's manager, Andrew Brightman. In 2005, Cobb and Jennings made the record, Put the "O" Back in Country, together as their first collaboration.
In 2009, from his connection to Jennings, Cobb produced Oak Ridge Boys' record, The Boys Are Back, encouraging the band to record outside their catalog. They covered songs by The White Stripes, Neil Young, John Lee Hooker.
