Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl was born in Warren, Ohio in 1969 and raised by his mother in Springfield, Virginia after his parents’ divorce ^[1] Source 1 Wikipedia, Dave Grohl Website . His Alexandria connection runs through his secondary education: as a junior in the early 1980s he transferred to 201 Cambridge Road Place 201 Cambridge Road Catholic co-educational secondary school founded in 1964 by the Diocese of Arlington on Cambridge Road; alumni include (transferred junior, early 1980s) and a long roll of … in Alexandria after attending Thomas Jefferson High School in Fairfax County and Annandale High School; his mother, a public-school English teacher, made the call when his marijuana usage began affecting his grades.

Grohl’s later career carried Northern Virginia influences with him: the broader DC-area hardcore-punk scene of the 1980s shaped his early drumming with bands like Scream before he joined Nirvana in 1990. He has spoken publicly across his career about Springfield and Alexandria as formative places.
