Stryker now performs with his working unit, the Stryker/Slagle Band as well as with the Dave Stryker Organ Trio and the Blue to the Bone Band. He has recorded and published over 130 of his own compositions and has recorded over 70 CDs, both as a leader and as a sideman.
As a teacher, he serves as adjunct professor at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and at the John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University.
