Review for David Webb

David performed at a Rehearsal Dinner for my son and his fiancé at Green Pastures in Austin, TX on Friday, November 27th. He is a talented pianist and everyone enjoyed his beautiful music throughout the evening which added to the ambience of the event and venue. From the time we selected David as our pianist, his correspondence was prompt as we exchanged information about our needs. He arrived early at the event and played until the conclusion. My husband and I really enjoyed working with him on this important event for my son and his fiancé. I would highly recommend David Webb based on our recent experience.

A true Professional

David arrived early to set up and greet our guests, which provided ample time for him to not be in a rush. His Bose PA system sounded amazing, he created a vibe and ambiance with his jazz set that was top notch and what I was looking for. I recognized David’s skills on the keys, something that takes decades of practice to master; as he studied at Berkeley School of Music (IYKYK!) Definitely planning bringing him back for future events.

What to expect

My task is to provide a pleasant and aesthetically pleasing experience. Often, my job is to simply be ambient/background music for parties or gatherings. I play a wide repertoire of styles and my goal is to make the audience aware that I am present and offering a little something extra while at the same time allowing for conversation. I enjoy spontaneity, take requests and will have as much or as little interaction as audience members desire and have turned piano bar gigs into full blown weekly concert series by playing my heart out and interacting with audience members.

For wedding ceremonies, I meet with clients and determine their desires. I've had brides march down the aisle to a tango or Edith Piaf chanson and had couples exiting to Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy", as well as an all Duke Ellington ceremony. I encourage couples to be creative in their choice of ceremony music, as it is their very special day and I want the music to be a memorable part of it. I have a wide range of potential ceremony repertoire and gladly entertain all suggestions.
