Overview

Described as a "world-class" and "remarkably versatile" singer/songwriter, acoustic guitar/keyboardist playing your favorite pop/rock/jazz covers (ie John Mayer, Keith Urban, U2, Jimmy Buffet, Marvin Gaye, or do my own original music (singer/songwriter style). Using a loop station, these songs go beyond a simple stripped down "acoustic" feel and sound fuller and yet "live." Always conduct myself very professionally and am very comfortable in front of a crowd. I can work alone, but also have some colleagues that can join me if you so desire (perc, 2nd acstc or full band). I'd love to chat with you about what sort of entertainment you are looking for to make your event amazing!

Excellent Entertainment ~ Highly Recommend

I recently had the pleasure of hiring David Olson for a professional cocktail event, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional experience he provided. David Olson demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism, talent, and attention to detail that truly elevated the atmosphere of our gathering.
As a performer, he read the room perfectly. He provided just the right balance of energy, sophistication, and engagement without ever overpowering the event’s social setting. Guests consistently commented on how the entertainment added a polished, dynamic element to the evening, making the event feel both memorable and seamlessly executed.
David’s communication beforehand was clear and efficient, set-up and timing were handled flawlessly, and every aspect of the performance reflected quality and experience.
I would confidently recommend David Olson to anyone looking to elevate a corporate, professional, or social event. His contribution made a significant impact, and we look forward to partnering with them again in the future.

Holiday party in a pinch

I had our musician for my company holiday party cancel on us about 5 days before our party. Luckily I found gigsalad and made some inquiries. David answered quickly that he was available. His rate was excellent and his communication was good as well. We got everything figured out quickly and he was exactly what we wanted for our event. He was very polite and easy to work with on the day of the event. He played exactly what we requested with no problems at all, he played some covers from a variety of genres and a heavy mix of Christmas music. Very talented and I got a lot of good feedback from my coworkers. I would hire David again in a heartbeat!

The Highlight of Our House Party!

We hired David to play at a small Holiday party with friends, and he completely elevated the entire evening. He's incredibly talented and the music was the perfect balance of upbeat and relaxed. Guests kept commenting on how great his performance was. Professional, easy to work with, and incredibly skilled — we’d book him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Amazing Talent- Wonderful Communication and Follow Through

David sang and played the piano at our son’s celebration of life. I can’t say enough about him…would definitely check him out if you need a superior vocalist with his own accompaniment!

What to expect

About

Hi there!

Wether it's for your family and friends, company, clients or guests; I'd love to have the opportunity to play music for them. I'm a very versatile musician (guitar and keyboard) and singer; I can do basically any genre (rock, country, pop, R&B, hip hop; classic to current). I enjoy reading the room to see what type of songs will work best depending on the crowd. Maybe it's chill background music or maybe you want to turn it up a bit and dance (maybe a bit of both?) I'd love to help your event be an amazing time for everyone involved!

Additional booking notes

Can provide PA if necessary. Usually need only 2 inputs for solo show. I use a guitar, keyboard, vocal mic and loop station.
