What should a client expect from me and/or my band? That's very simple FUN! Fun is the ultimate goal I have for my clients whether it's my services as a solo acoustic artist, my band or during anyone of our tribute shows.

Hey Gang:

I'm a San Francisco based Rockabilly/50's Rock and Roll songwriter, vocalist, guitarist. A little bit about me:

My last three Albums/CDs in a row have all gone Top-10 at College radio Nationally, per CMJ Magazine

My song "Take Me Baby" was used in the Motion Picture "The Game" with Michael Douglas & Senn Penn

My song "It Was Love" was used on "Cold Case Files" (C.B.S. T.V.) and another, "Baby Shake it Up" was used on "Dateline" (NBC T.V.)

Bill Haley's Original Comets are back together recording & touring. I've done some shows with them and they have recorded one of my songs, “We Ain’t Dead Yet”, for their current Album/CD

The Jordanaires, who sang Back-Up Vocals for Ricky Nelson, Patsy Cline & Elvis Presley are on my Album/CD "Big Daddy D"as well.

My main influence are Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Fats Domino and, well anyone who recorded in the 50's is a fav. I wasn't kept in a vacuum growing up so other favorites include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Of the current Cats out there I dig Los Lonely Boys & Green Day

Even though 50's Rock and Roll is my specialty, I love all forms of music and, as a working musician, perform in tons of different styles as well. Myself as a solo acoustic artist and my band have over 400 cover songs in our repertoire. This allows us to customize playlists to make tribute shows if the clients would like. Our most successful ones are "The Almost All Elvis Show", "The British Invasion Show", "Beatle Tribute Show", "The Rolling Clones (Stones) Tribute", "The Candy Cane Express Christmas Rock 'n Roll Show", the newest tribute being "Mac Attack" our tribute to Fleetwood Mac. - Dave Crimmen

We are self contained, i.e. P.A. & Lights for a show for 50 - 500 people. Any larger than that, and a sound/light company is preferred to allow for a better experience for my clients.
