David Hull (musician)

David Hull is an American bass guitar player best known as the substitute bass player for Aerosmith during three of their world tours.

David Hull began his career in music performing with Buddy Miles, Joe Cocker, Ted Nugent, Arthur Lee & Lee's band Love.

In the 1970s, he was a member of the Connecticut band White Chocolate. Later, Hull founded the rock band The Dirty Angels and was a songwriter, bassist and co-producer on the band's three albums.

On October 1, 1970 David performed at an impromptu show after the funeral of Jimi Hendrix. David joined Buddy Miles, Johnny Winter, Charlie Karp, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding at a nearby hall.

Since Hull's personal connection to members of Aerosmith date back to the late 1960s, Hull was asked to be the studio and touring bassist and background vocalist for the first two albums of The Joe Perry Project, a band formed by Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. Several songs on the band's first two albums were co-written by Hull.

In 1986, he changed his name to David Heit and formed a rock trio with fellow Joe Perry Project member Charlie Farren, naming the band Farrenheit (also written as Farren/Heit). The band signed with Warner Bros. Records and their music went into regular rotation on MTV. They scored an opening slot on Boston's 75-stop sold-out American tour. Farrenheit's eponymous album spent 7 weeks on the Billboard 200.

After Farrenheit, Hull was involved with several bands including rock bands Modern Farmer (with Reeves Gabrels) and Pete Droge And The Sinners, in addition to blues bands Kat in the Hat and Monster Mike Welch.
