Dave was amazing! 100% recommend!

Dave was absolutely amazing. I threw my wife a surprise birthday party and Dave’s performance was by far her favorite part of the night. He’s extremely talented and great at his craft. Super pleasant guy, very professional, and was very accommodating with some of the last minute changes I needed. I’m already planning to use him for my next event. 10/10 would recommend him to help make your night truly special.

What to expect

Friendly. Adaptable. Professional. I play acoustic and electric violin. I can play multiple styles in any setting or situation you can think of! The only sound equipment I currently use is an amplifier for my violins and backup music. Depending on the song and time allotted, I can typically learn your requests and obtain backup music.

About

I've been playing music since I was 10 years old. I was in the 5th grade, and when it came time to choose an instrument, I almost selected something else, but then I saw a violin sitting there and it called to me! I have never looked back!

I received years of classical instruction throughout my school career, receiving many awards and honors as a solo artist as well as with symphonies. Since then, I have studied other styles of music, including Rock, Country and Celtic! I love to fiddle!

Since moving to Texas over 20 years ago, I have performed and still perform with numerous bands and artists in addition to being a solo act. I have appeared on several recordings and continue to record for local artist as well as remotely! I'm currently going on auditions and working on getting some music on here soon, so STAY TUNED for exciting news!

Additional booking notes

My personal amplifier is loud enough in most settings. It does have an XLR out for sound boards as well as an aux in.
