Damian Garcia

Thank you Damian for providing great must for our cocktail reception! Your duo's performance really added to the networking ambiance. Also, thank you for making everything very easy for us! Your quick set up and and break down was much appreciated as we were busy with the event. I hope we will work with you again in the future.

Went out of his way to work with us and sounded amazing

Damian was great to work with from the very start all the way through the event. We hired the quartet for a corporate awards dinner and they provided great, upbeat music that received rave reviews all around. If in the area again, I'd definitely use Damian again.

Damian and his crew were awesome! We hired them to play at our NYE party at our senior living community. The residents loved them! The trio was professional. The music was perfect for our event. And they were kind enough to play a resident's favorite song, La Bamba. We will definitely give them a call again! Thank you so much, again!!

1. Music was perfection. Exactly what we wanted and done so well.
2. Showed up on time and was extremely amenable to everything we needed and easy to work with.
3. I would definitely hire him.

Damian played at my daughter's wedding and also at the rehearsal dinner. He was wonderful! Would definitely recommend him for any event!

Damian was excellent for the EPA Region 6 Conference Awards! His music was so soothing and elegant.

I know my review is EXTREMELY late but I have to say, Damian is an outstanding musician. He was hired to play for a wedding I coordinated last year and it a great experience. Not only was he completely professional and highly skilled as a musician, but he was also flexible and knowledgeable when it came to working with the singer who was hired as well. I would highly recommend Damian for any wedding or special event.

I reached out to Damian about playing piano for our wedding ceremony. He went above and beyond to learn any songs we requested, and he also reached out to a few of his friends to form a 3 piece jazz band for our reception dinner. We were super impressed with how great both he and the band sounded throughout the wedding. Although Damian moved to Austin (our wedding was in Dallas) between the time I first contacted him to the time of the wedding, he still honored his commitment to play our wedding. The only difficulty was contacting him within the last month of the wedding because he was incredibly busy with all the other gigs he was booking! But, I figured that must have meant he was very popular=). Thanks, Damian, for making our wedding a much more elegant and refined affair!

We were so pleased with Damian's performance at the University's high-profile event. Lots of praise from our guests. Damian and his vocalist were thankfully able to change the location where they were playing onsite at the last minute. We really appreciated their flexibility. Awesome performance.

Damian was wonderful, polite, talented, and handsome. What more can I say. Karen the vocalist was beautiful, sweet, and has a wonderful voice. The perfect choice for our holiday event!! Thank you again.

I had a very nice experience with Damian & the whole group - they were on time, nicely dressed, and sounded outstanding! I would highly recommend them for any sort of event needing a live band.

We called Damian a couple weeks before our event to play the piano. We had a surprise vow renewal for my parents' 20th anniversary. Damian was extremely flexible and easy to work with in coordinating everything for the surprise. He played beautifully and we were so impressed with his abilities. Cannot recommend him enough and we definitely will be calling him for any future events we have!

We really enjoy the music, the people in our event was very pleased with the great music, very well done, we totally recommend him and for sure we will save his contact information for the future.

Thank you Damian to you and your group.

To whom it may concern,

Damian was fantastic! He made our event a 10 out of 10! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great musical experience for any type of event. He was top notch and we will try to book him again for our next event in the Dallas, Texas area. Thank you Damian for making this a truly memorable experience.

Sincerely,

Kurt Kaufman

Damian Garcia was invited to play for us at an Induction Ceremony back in April and we enjoyed him and the whole quartet so much, that we invited him back to do our year-end celebration banquet this past month. I am extremely impressed with Damian's ability to pull together top-notch musicians. His groups have arrived well in advance of their scheduled time, have been set up and ready to go at show time, and above all, they sound absolutely heavenly! If I could have them set up in my living room each night, I would!

Thank you so much Damian Garcia! You made my music program a big success. I had the hardest time finding a accompanist in Allen, Texas, every piano player on gig salad, turn down my school's music event. Luckily Damian Garcia, reached out to me, and helped me with the event, he commuted from Denton to Allen for rehearsals, and both performances. My student's voice recital and elementary end of the year recital was a big success. My Director was amazed by Damian's talents, and is keeping him for reference of further upcoming performances. Our school is very pleased, and my students are shining stars. Thank you again Damian! Great appreciation to you and Thank you Gig Salad for having great talented musicians like Damian Garcia.

Damian was absolutely amazing! Very professional and was willing to work around a crazy restaurant schedule. Guests were raving about him so much management wants to hire him to play routinely. Damian helped our Grand Opening become a success!!!!

Damian was easy to work with, easy to communicate with leading up to event, and did a great job providing jazz music for a corporate physician attended come and go event. Couldn't have been more satisfied.

Damian absolutely made our evening. He played beautifully with wonderful sensitivity and style. Damian was friendly and comfortable with our guests...and his warm manner, versatile musicality and elegant presence made for an extremely special evening. Thank you Damian

I ran a 3-day marketing conference for 250 people. Damian and his band played for 3 hrs during dinner and drinks ( background music), and everyone loved it.

Not only was the music amazing, the guys are true professionals with the right attitude.

Damian and his crew were wonderful to work with! They provided the perfect jazz music for our church's Fat Tuesday dinner. Loud enough to be festive but not too loud to overpower the room we were dining in. They were a lovely addition to our event and we hope to use them again in the future!

I was hosting a surprise 40th birthday party for my wife with the theme, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and was looking for a solid jazz trio to come and play some mood music. I talked with Damian about the style for a few minutes and left the set list in his hands.

The day arrived and I was a bit nervous because as a musician myself, I know how artists can tend to be late and flaky to say the least. As I'm driving up with my wife to take her in, I'm praying that Damian and his band are there and ready to make the party sizzle with the right music we talked about. 50's party jazz...not the crap in the elevator that puts you to sleep!

My fears were completely unnecessary, thank God! The party was a huge success in part due to the PERFECT set list and amazing performances by Damian on keys, an equally amazing standup bass player and highlighted on drums with the right amount of brushes and sticks (can't remember their names...but after this any friend of Damian is a friend of mine!).

To say the least, it was a groovy, 50's private party throwback performance that would have made Holly Golightly squeal with delight! I know my wife did!

Damian played traditional Christmas music for our party which helped to make it a festive event. Several guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music.

We were thrilled to have Damian play for our Christmas church jazz brunch. He was gracious, played excellently, and was a delightful bonus to our event. We hope to have him next year!

Damian was hired with short notice for an evening engagement at a country club. He arrived promptly and appropriately dressed. With little guidance, he instinctively chose great tunes for the occasion. He's also a very talented and sensitive musician.

Damian was great! Very easy to work with and had an extensive set list. I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to work with him again.

Damian and his vocalist Jeremy were just what our club needed in the dining room on a cold winter day. Our members truly enjoyed their calm sound and they were exceptionally impressed with Damian's piano skills. We will definitely be hiring him back soon!

Damian's music helped create the ambiance we were looking for and he kept the volume at a perfect setting so we are able to mingle without having to shout over each other. Would highly recommend!

I hired Damian Garcia to accompany me for a couple of my singing engagements, and he’s fabulous! Damian is very professional and knows jazz music and standards very well. We had very little rehearsal time to practice the vocal standards I was performing, but he followed me and extemporized his jazz solos beautifully. Damian lives in Denton, but was willing to travel to Austin for my last event. He works very well with soloists and can even help you find extra instrumentalists. I would highly recommend him as a piano accompanist or stand-alone jazz pianist for your event.

Damian was an excellent choice for our event. He was just what we needed. His ability to move us with his gift was effortless. He even played impromptu for a vocalist; unrehearsed and made it sound as if they had worked together forever. He not only looks the part, but plays with precision and poise, moving us with every note. I will recommend him to everyone and find reasons to hire him.
