I booked Daniel sort of last minute for a St. Patrick's Day performance. He was available and came to perform at the retirement home I work at. He was AMAZING!!!! My residents loved every minute and had wished the show lasted longer. His prices are great, he exceeded expectations!!

I engaged Dan and friends for an important family celebration ( a 100th Birthday!) They were highly responsive throughout the booking process, reliable in the delivery, and provided exactly what I had hoped for in terms of their musicianship and ability to heighten and already festive event
