  • Exceptional!

    I coordinate regular corporate events and book talent for musicians in the various cities we have meetings. Without a doubt, in my more than 20 years of booking events, and many extremely talented performers, David by far is the best talent I've ever booked. From the get go, David was super responsive and proactive in communications. This was not just at the time of booking, but he also reached out prior to the event to confirm details, arrived early, and asked for feedback on the type of music we'd like. His performance and guitar skills are exceptional and he has a great voice. David played for our field and corporate executives and board members during our reception. What is especially unique is his wide range of music genres - - he rocked the classic rock...played and sang more contemporary upbeat tunes...and even managed to fit in Hamilton. Additionally, he stayed beyond our contracted time! David is a real gem and has a wonderful personality to match. I would not hesitate recommending or booking him again!

  • A memorable anniversary event

    Gabriel is an absolutely stellar guitarist! From listening to his videos, I knew he would be able to provide the type of music befitting our 40th anniversary. He came to our celebratory sailing event precisely on time, brought all the gear abroad, and proceeded to delight us with a variety of musical genres and styles. Being rather familiar with the music of the artists that he performed, we had a great conversational exchange about them. And we came to know a lot about his own musical life story. He is very engaging and humorous. Please feel totally confident to engage his musical services.
