Incredible vibes

Had the spectacular opportunity of stumbling into Davey during Malden Porchfest - thought we’d only stay for a few, but he had us entranced for over an hour. Super down to earth and earnest about his work, he treated us to a lovely medley of originals, deconstructed covers, and a few audience requests. Couldn’t recommend more!

Talented, Artistic and Great Musician

I've seen Davey play multiple times and every time it's so enjoyable. He's really great! He's honest and authentic and connected with us like we were old friends. I really enjoy the covers he does and the personal style he creates to make them his own. His original songs are deep, thoughtful, catchy, raw and relatable. I really love "Payroll". I look forward to hearing him many more times.

Music at Grays Beach in Kingston

The Kingston Rec Commission had David play during one of our big music events at our beach. We had multiple groups play on the stage and Davis was the perfect performer between sets to keep the music playing so we didn't have any downtime. He worked out just great!

What to expect

When you book me, you’re getting more than just a setlist—you’re getting a carefully crafted musical experience. Whether the setting calls for upbeat energy or relaxed ambiance, I tailor each performance to the vibe of the room and the needs of the event.
Expect warm, expressive vocals, dynamic guitar playing, and a thoughtfully curated mix of songs spanning pop, indie, soul, and acoustic favorites—from artists like Ray LaMontagne, The Beatles, Jack Johnson, Harry Styles, and more. I focus on creating a comfortable, engaging atmosphere—something that complements the moment rather than competes with it.
I bring my own professional gear (PA system and guitar setup) and can perform acoustic-only or switch between acoustic and electric guitar depending on your needs. I’m punctual, easy to work with, and happy to adjust volume, set length, or song choices to help make your event exactly what you envision.
Whether you’re looking for background vibes or a featured performance, I aim to leave the room better than I found it—with good energy and great music.

About

I’m a solo singer/songwriter and acoustic/electric guitarist with a setlist that blends pop, indie, soul, and timeless classics. My performances are tailored to the vibe of the room, whether it’s upbeat and groovy or intimate and laid-back. With a warm tenor voice and dynamic guitar work, I create a feel-good atmosphere for bars, private events, and listening rooms. Available for 2–3 hour sets with a professional setup, positive energy, and a love for connecting through live music.

Additional booking notes

I bring a fully self-sufficient setup to my shows, complete with PA system and mixer, mic and stand, cables, and instruments. My only requirement is access to an electric outlet.
