Response from David James:
Thank you, Mary. I could tell it was a really moving and special evening for all the attendees and I was honored to be a part of it.
David played for a Christmas party I hosted and really helped make the event great. He was flexible with the event, intuitive and responsible to what was happening as the evening progressed (example - when to play background music and whether to play upbeat songs). I also appreciated he was self sufficient and made everything easy for me, he had easy setup but still a very nice sound system. He’s a great musician with wide range, the guests loved him - highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the very kind review, Scott. That was a really fun night. I’d happily play for you and your friends again anytime!
I hired David James for a 50 person dinner event in early November and he was amazing. His performance matched the quality seen in his videos on his profile. Great voice, great choice of music, and a nice guy! Highly recommend and would book him again in the future.

Thank you so much, Lauren! It was lovely to meet you :) I had a great time playing your party, and what a handsome little tapas bar that was!
David performed at my birthday party last night and was absolutely perfect for what I wanted. And that's not just my opinion. Everyone felt the same way. He was able to read the room and engage at exactly the right times and in the right way. His music, singing and song selection were all excellent. And he even learned three new songs at my request. I highly recommend him and hope to have him play at future events.

Such a pleasure to play for you Chris! I had a great time with you and your friends and the rounds of trivia were truly entertaining. Thank you so much for the kind words :) Take care until next time!

David was wonderful! We highly recommend him for your gig. We hosted a White Attired cocktail party in our downtown apartment. Prior to the event, he was great at communicating with us. During the event, he was very entertaining and did a great job of matching his songs with the crowd. PLUS he's a great musician! We would book him again!
