Dave Baker is TERRIFIC!

We hired Dave Baker to play for my birthday party last weekend at The Gallery at Freeman's in Eagle Village, Wayne, PA. We were 40 for cocktails and dinner beginning at 7 p.m. Dave was terrific. He played beautifully and provided exactly the kind of background and mood music we were looking for. He was great to work with - responsive, organized, and punctual. He arrived at 6:30 and set up and plugged in easily and unobtrusively as the wait staff was putting finishing touches on the room. We appreciated his extensive playlist and being able to select in advance a few songs that were sentimental to us and our family and friends. He was able to glean for those selections the kind of music we were going for, and filled in all four hours on his own to provide the perfect ambiance. We recommend Dave wholeheartedly for any gathering you might have, from small to large.

Appreciate the effort

We appreciated Dave making the effort to provide music for our lunch crowd in the office. We were very concerned though about his mobility and safety with setting up and breaking down equipment though. The look and play compared to what is advertised online are two different worlds. We appreciate his time and wish him nothing but the best. Thanks for coming out!

Awesome

Dave was incredible. He played the perfect music at the perfect volume. Last year our music was so loud no one could hear each other talk. Without me even saying anything Dave checked with me to make sure the music was not too loud. I didn't have to think of anything he had everything he needed. Great music!! Thank you so much Dave you were amazing.

Testimonials

We were extremely pleased with Dave Baker's performance. His musicianship is certainly of true concert quality. We had a number of musician friends who commented on his beautiful playing. His choice of music was perfect. Very enjoyable to listen to without being intrusive to conversation. Dave Baker is obviously a true professional, and a very pleasant person to deal with. He was very prompt in responding to emails. We would certainly hire him again. A few of our guests took his name for their own future events. -Ellen B, Washington, DC
