Terrific Performance

David did a wonderful job at our 60th birthday party. He arrived early, set-up quickly and enhanced the evening with his amazing performance. The music wasn't too loud, and David found the right collection of songs to take the event to the next level. I would be happy to have him back for another show!

Wonderful musician!

David was very professional, kind and eager to play! He performed at a dinner party we hosted and was very flexible when it was going to rain! He was so easy going. We'd hire him again for our next gathering!!! Very talented musician.

Found Our Forever Entertainer

Thoroughly love David!!! So perfect for our big New Year's Eve party! Entertained 200 guests for 4 amazing hours. Friends still talk about him. We’re done searching for musicians. David is it!

My family had anxiety finding entertainment before the ball drop. Needed sophisticated, to old classics, to party time. OMG David delivered! He just drew us in with his voice and crazy guitar ability. So many different genres and fun songs. Great personality. Was funny when engaging w/ the younger crowd taking requests.

We’ve hired singers from L.A. before, but David was phenomenal. A real stand out. We found our forever entertainer.
