October 10, 2022There is not enough time in the day for me to explain how awesome Danelle was to work with. Not only is she an amazing musician but she repeatedly went above and beyond the call to ensure that our engagement went perfectly. Can’t thank her enough. She made the day so special and she should be the de facto option for anyone needing to book a musician!

August 10, 2022Danelle played the piano and sang at my wedding for the ceremony and during my cocktail hour. First of all, she is the sweetest, most supportive person you could hire for a stressful event like a wedding, because she genuinely cares about her part at your event and will do what it takes to make sure it goes well. She repeatedly checked in on me to make sure I was happy with my song choices and to make sure we were on the same page for the vision I had for the event. She was communicative, reassuring, and went above and beyond to send ideas even when I didn’t know what I wanted.
While she played and sang, I also trusted her to read the room and to choose from her list of songs based on the energy of the crowd and what was needed, and she did a great job with that as well.
She gets an A++ from me and I would definitely hire her again.

July 12, 2022Danelle was lovely to plan with, and really delivered a beautiful backyard concert for my husband's birthday. She had excellent communication and follow-through. Mostly, though, her voice is wicked good and our guests were so surprised with the experience. She even let my husband play live with her! I'd hire Danelle again and pay her 2-3x what she's charging - she's that good.

March 9, 2022Danelle provided the perfect vocal addition to our simple graveside service. She made a point to discuss with me ahead of time what we were looking for, song choice, verse choice. We couldn't have been more satisfied with her addition to our goodbye to our dear friend.

If you came to see Danelle you can expect to be moved. As a solo artist she is incredible singing with just her keyboard and her voice but she is also wonderful with her band when she steps out from behind her instrument and let's it all out! She sings with heart. She sings from her guts.
If you were to bring Danelle in for studio work you will find she is very efficient and professional. She does not like to waste time, she has a very sensitive ear and works hard to get things right, and she will usually over deliver. As a song writer, composer and musician, Danelle brings her polished artistry into every project.
