What to expect

My show is geared for your listening enjoyment and relaxation. The best way to describe my show is that it is basically a style similar to what you would see at a James Taylor show. It's "easy listening," and it's "non-obtrusive" for the patrons who are talking with friends or having dinner.

About

“I describe my music as the 'acoustification' of rock, pop, country, and rhythm and blues."~~Steve Testa
Steve Dallas Testa performs with his Taylor acoustic guitar, playing smooth, eclectic renditions of popular classic rock, pop, country, rhythm & blues, and folk tunes from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.

Steve’s vocals, deeply influenced by his Texas upbringing and his soulful passion for music, work together to create new sounds on cherished classics!

Spend a relaxing evening listening to Steve’s original works and the best of Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Chesney, Johnny Cash, John Fogerty, The Beatles, The Doobie Brothers, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Willie Nelson, and the Eagles, among others.

Steve performs at restaurants, coffee shops, corporate events, or deck venues.

Hiring Steve is a straightforward process. First, contact him via Gig Salad, Facebook under "Steve Dallas Testa," or his website. Discuss or email your venue specifics - proposed rate, location, date(s), specific songs that your patrons like. Note: Venues outside his immediate area will require 50% payment up front. Final payment is due at the conclusion of the gig. Steve will typically arrive at your venue about two hours early to set up and will need about one hour to pack up and depart the venue grounds.

Additional booking notes

I will bring my own PA (Sound Re-enforcement System) and lighting. However, I can plug into your "front of house" system and use your existing stage lighting.
