Dan is a musical genius

I hired Dan for my birthday party for approximately 35 guests. Every single person was so impressed and commented on how great he is. He’s a true musician and plays and sings effortlessly. I’ve had many parties over the years but none where the crowd was so into the musician they forgot they were in a backyard. I want to throw a once a month bash just to have Dan do his thing. I will never hire anyone other than this one man crowd pleaser. Thank you for the memories Dan!

Crowd Pleaser and Great Guy

We have hired Dan to entertain at 2 high-profile corporate events, one in Vegas and one in Tulum. He is professional, extremely nice and a fantastic entertainer/musician. He continues to be on our very short list of GO-TO talent for our events. Our clients LOVE him! So do we! Can't say enough good things!

Perfect Vibes, Flexible, Easy to Work with!

Dan's music was so great and so many guests complimented me on the choice but also asked for his information to book him for their event! Additionally he provided a fun, interactive way to request songs via QR code. He was very flexible in the logistics, willing to ebb and flow with the needs of the event and setup was quick and easy. He is ready to adjust to any atmosphere and is kind and easy to work with.

Multi-Instrumentalist

What to Expect

A unique and often surprising musical performance that can be geared towards satisfying the most diverse of audiences or the most specific. Everyone feels included, everyone gets to participate if they please and everyone gets to see the next level of what a modern day one man band can be.

About

"Forget a one-man band. Dan Fester is a one-man rock concert.

With over 2,000 shows under his belt, its hard to know where to even begin to tell the story of the 33-year-old artist. A well-practiced musician, who began playing shows regularly at 13 years old, his frequently updated catalog features more than 400 songs representing all genres and decades that the audience can choose from to guide the show, in addition to originals and improv jams thrown in along the way. Dan is a live-looping artist, using synthesizers, electronic drum kit, guitar and vocal manipulation to create a full spectrum sound, all without a computer or prerecorded tracks. A sampling from his eclectic mix includes murder ballads from Johnny Cash, the epic guitar jams of Jimi Hendrix and fan favorites from Prince and the Beatles. But the roster doesn’t stop there. His flexibility is apparent in his take on today’s hip-hop and electronic dance music. Drawing on tunes from Kendrick Lamar, Flaming Lips, Drake, Post Malone and Daft Punk , a mere cover just doesn’t cut it: he plays the role of musical magician as he elevates, renovates and remixes songs to his taste, coaxing his auditory mashups into something transcendent. Prince becomes dub, Beatles becomes neo-funk, the Doors get a dirty layer of bass and Led Zep is hip- hop. "

Dan has lived and performed all over Ohio, as well as Nashville, Florida and now Las Vegas. In the 8 years of living in Vegas, Dan has played over 1000 shows at the strips most prominent venues, including an ongoing residency with MGM Resorts and Caesars Resorts Properties. Dan currently plays 3-5 nights a week in Las Vegas so be sure to check the show calendar and come out for a solid night of rock and roll.
