Dan was amazing! My son really wanted a band that was 80s, Jack Johnson and Michael Jackson. That was hard to find and Dan nailed it! He was professional, on time and had an amazing voice and range! I want to throw another party just to see him sing again!!

Dan was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout the planning process. They agreed to learn a few requested songs for the Celebration of Life. The band was amazing and they made the event. My only regret was that my attention was divided and I didn't get to enjoy them more.
Hired as: Easy Listening Band, Folk Band

August 16, 2023DWB has a new following… and it’s all our party guests!
Dan Walker and his band were such pros. They played for our parents 50th wedding anniversary and MADE the event. They read the vibe of the party and provided the perfect soundtrack. So many people were up and dancing and not wanting them to leave at the end! These guys are all so talented- such beautiful voices and skilled musicians. Dan was very communicative leading up to the event and even learned a Cat Stevens song in preparation- and performed it perfectly I might add! We can’t wait to book them again. Thank you SO much again Dan and band!!! We can’t stop talking about you!

Influences and inspiration
We have all been fans of many different artists. One show that sticks out to me the most was at the Shell in Hawaii. We listened to Jack Johnson, Ziggy Marley and Taj Mahal put on a performance of a lifetime. During that same year (2010) I was asked to open up for my all time favorite singer/songwriter, Martin Sexton here in New Hampshire. It was a great year!
