Since leaving Hatchet...

Dave was replaced in Hatchet by Bobby Ingram.

In the late eighties, Dave played with for a time with the "Hlubek-Harwood Band" with ex-Rossington Collins Band guitarist (and all round good guy) Barry Lee Harwood

From there, Dave formed the Dixie Allstars with Jay Johnson, Jakson Spires and Randall Hall. The band was soon renamed the "Southern Rock Allstars" mainly because the band felt that "Dixie Allstars" sounded too much like a barber shop quartet!!

Performed with Dixie Jam Band for Danny Joe Brown

In March 2003, Dave left the SRA for health reasons, and within days was a member of Southern Rockers Reunion, with Randall Hall, Banner Thomas, Mike Estes, Tom Curiale, and Ted Patton. (although Banner left the SRR within a few weeks, Dave is still working with him).

Dave and Banner are playing dates together billed as "Flirtin' with Disaster with Dave Hlubek and Banner Thomas" backed by Big Engine. Dave is also a touring member of The Rhythmpigs

Also, Dave says: ""I cleaned out every buffet between Tifton, GA and Fort Lauderdale. Many restaurant owners have stood panicked in front of a buffet pleading with me — 'No more meat! Just vegetables!'""

Dave was married for twenty years to Karen, and has two sons Kyle David Hlubek and Aaron Armstrong Hlubek. He now lives in Fort Lauderdale, FLA

November 2004, Dave had joined up with Riff West, Jimmy Farrar, Duane Roland, Steve Holland and Bruce Crump to form the "Gator Country Band". During January 2005, Dave decided to opt out of the band and is now performing with Bobby Ingram.

As of 2005, Dave is back touring and recording with Molly Hatchet.
