Donny is a true talent. He goes above and beyond to make sure the guests are happy with the song selection, volume, and he even helped decorate after he was set up. I would highly recommend him to anyone throwing a party.
Donny was very professional and played amazing. We had about 40 guests and they all loved Donny’s music. This was my first time using gig salad and I would definitely book him again.
Donny G made my party - a 42nd birthday party. he was so easy to deal with ahead of time and learned my song list. He arrived on time, set up all his equipment and couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with. Everyone enjoyed his performance. Great sound, high energy. He rocked the party. Beyond happy and will use him again for future events. You can trust that the music for your event will be great if you hire Donny G. The guest loved him. 5 star rating.
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Thank you again Jennifer! You were also extremely easy to not only work with but as far as communication goes as well! I look forward to hosting your next event and everyone in attendance ROCKED!!! I'm sure we'll be in touch shortly. :)
Donny was the perfect start to my 40th birthday celebration. We kicked off a beautiful evening by the pool side at the sound of Donny G. I had 70+ guests at my party and all of them were raving about his performance. He also has a great personality and is extremely professional. I feel like having another event just to have a change to listen to him again. Thanks Donny!
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Andrea, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to submit a review for me. I know you've been running around like crazy over the past couple weeks. It was my honor to be a part of such a unique and one-of-a-kind birthday celebration. It was also my pleasure meeting you and your family. Thank you so much again for having me :)
I found Donny G's personal website while searching the internet. It was an extremely professional looking site and was very easy to navigate. I checked out his biography and live performance videos along with his other included material and was instantly sold on him. He arrived WELL ahead of time, his image & sound was phenomenal, and he even learned a few songs just for me that he didn't know ahead of time. Donny will by all means host every birthday celebration of mine from here on out, no question. DONNY G ROCKS!
Donny did an amazing job at my 50th bday! I highly recommend him! Completely professional and fun!!!
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Thanks again for having me Brooke! I'm so happy that everyone had such a great time and the pleasure was all mine. KIT .
I'll make this short and sweet. We saw Donny perform at a friends family reunion get together and were blown away. We asked him if he had a business card, which he did, and decided to use him for our own event shortly thereafter and could not be happier. He was prompt, professional, and played the largest selection of cover songs that we've ever witnessed. He knows every genre from A-Z and in our opinion, sounded better than the original artists version to be honest. We are so happy to have found him and will use him for any future events without question!
We celebrated my husband’s 40th Bday that included guests from 5-70 years old. I was a bit skeptical at first about hiring a musician through GigSalad as I have never booked through this site before. However, every bit of my experience from booking to having Donny perform at our backyard birthday bash was positive. Donny was professional; returned texts and phone calls prior to our event, and arrived on time. He had all the necessary equipment to rock out including instruments, speakers, amp and lights. He even stayed a little later than we had booked him for.
In addition to providing a night of great music, he was very personable with our family and friends. My own kids were in awe of Donny’s musical talent and did not leave his side. He was gracious enough to share the mic many times with our “inspired” guests both young and old, thus making everyone’s night!
Don’t hesitate to book with Donny!
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Hi Annabel! Thank you so much for the nice review and for having me perform. All of your guests and family were extremely nice and it was my pleasure. It was also fun getting your little daughter Grace and house guest Tito on the microphone for a while :)
If you want your party to rock, stop looking and book Donny-G. My wife and I recently had our joint 40th birthday party at our home. Donny was precisely what we wanted. He was professional, energetic and sounded great. He showed up about an hour before the party to set up and played well past the time we had booked him for. His set up was great, everything you'd expect from a top notch performer. He was great with the crowd and played a number of requests (not sure there is a song he does not know). He gets 5 stars, without question.
If anyone has any doubts, hire Donny right now! We booked Donny for our grandfather's 90th birthday party and he was a hit with everyone that attended! Not only was he extremely accommodating to our requests for music, but he was able to entertain the diverse crowd that came to the party. He even had an open mic performance with one of the guests where she was able to sing while he played the guitar. This was the first time I used gigsalad and Donny made it extremely easy and professional. I'm very happy with my choice and am thankful for the wonderful experience my grandfather and our guests had as a result of his performance at our party.
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Thank you so much Camelia! The pleasure was all mine. Your family and friends were very inviting and it was a lot of fun sharing the microphone and stage with them. And BTW, that is an AWESOME picture of the birthday boy playing the guitar! :)
I had the opportunity to see Donny perform at the Elbo Room a while back and decided to hire him for our annual corporate event . I was very impressed by his wide genre of music he played and how well he performed. Even though he was performing solo, it sounded as if it there was a 3 piece band playing. I also appreciated how passionate he was in his show. Often times I have seen musicians play in many venues with less enthusiasm. I was able to talk to him briefly while on break and request a few songs,all of which he did play. We are looking forward to hiring him again next year.
Donny was absolutely hands down the perfect entertainer for my event. His depth of knowledge of music was unbelievable. He even allowed me to get on the Mic and sing too. I will definitely use him again.
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Thanks again Scott! It was definitely awesome getting you up there with me on the mic. I had a great time as well. It'd be my pleasure to perform for you again anytime. Thanks for the opportunity bro and tell Andy again that i said HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Definitely KIT.
Danny G band was on good time not late or and played for us longer then we hire him and no charge of any more money. We see him at tiki bar by where our home before and got card for him. All of us family loved how he play acustic guitar and he very well as singers to. He give a good price for me and very respected and nice young guy. So we like saying thank u Danny G band for giving nice special nite for all us in family.
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
Aww... Thanks man! Just got an email from the Gig Salad site that I told you and your friends to check out at the Tiki Bar where you saw me performing and I gave you my business card. On a serious note, the pleasure was all mine and you're welcome for playing later than scheduled. I love music as much as life itself and was honestly having way too much fun to stop that soon anyway! Lol. Thank you so much for not only following up on the review but also for referring me to your friends. Well you definitely know where to find me if you want to do the same thing next year :)
My Husband & I decided on hiring Donny after having the pleasure of witnessing one of his performances at the Blue Martini in Ft. Lauderdale, FL recently. I will also tell you that we are extremely picky when it comes to entertainment of any kind. Not only was he a true professional from beginning to end, but we mutually agreed that he was, without a shadow of doubt, the most unbelievable One Man Band we had ever seen and could not believe his level of talent as well as how diverse his material was. He flawlessly went from Cat Stevens & Harry Chapin, Chili Peppers & Bon Jovi, straight into songs that we didn't know the name of but heard frequently on the radio, and absolutely LOVED ! We also liked the fact that he changed his overall sound and switched instruments from time to time throughout the evening. First off was the whole Acoustic guitar and vocals thing, and then, WOW! He really began to shine when he astonished us with his one man band show after a short break, and it continued to get better and better for the remainder of the evening. He was also an EXCELLENT showman and really knew how to work the crowd and make them feel as if they were actually involved in and a part of the show. A younger couple sitting next to us actually commented on how good he sounded and how entertaining he was as well. It goes without saying that we didn't hire Donny from this site being that he just recently became a member and because of how we met him, but I felt not only compelled but honestly, obligated to express how special he made our night. Our guests couldn't stop raving for weeks! I could go on and on forever but let's just say, there is no way that you would not be THRILLED if you were to hire him for any occasion. I'm confident in saying that. You'd be hard pressed to find a more talented and truly professional solo act anywhere. :) We are actually hiring him again for an upcoming family reunion and are really looking forward to it. Some of our friends have hired him since then too for their own private parties and get togethers. DONNY IS THE BEST! :)
Response from Donny G - One Man Band:
