He's engaging and entertaining!

I work at an active adult senior community and had a country cocktail hour with Dave performing front and center. He was surprised that my residents were so engaged. Although he may be great as a background performer at special events, he's even better when he's in the spotlight. Not only did he dress the part, he had a great set, everyone was singing along, and overall great experience. Will have him back.

Professional, friendly and responsive!

Dave was a pleasure to work with, was very flexible and had great suggestions about how he could coordinate with other musicians. I am only sorry that I was too distracted by my wedding ceremony to have had more of an opportunity to enjoy the music, but it was lovely! Very happy!
