Dave Hawkins was amazing! he came to sing/tell stories for my husband, Gary's 60th surprise birthday party and my husband was beyond thrilled with Dave's performance! In fact, all the quests at the party (about 45 people) were equally impressed! Dave sang some Johnny Cash per my request, for my husband. My husband, Gary said he thought Dave sounded just like Johnny Cash!!! Dave is a 5 Star Performer!!!!
