Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on September 27, 2024•From Downers Grove, IL
We loved having Dave as our entertainment for my son’s 4th birthday! Communication was excellent, good vibes and he knew how to read the crowd. He took some requests and played music that all ages enjoyed. We would absolutely hire him back and highly recommend him!

Dave notes! YOU ARE THE BEST! Amazing voice and beautiful person inside out! He was very flexible with our time changes and arrived earlier than expected. If you are looking for the best soloist performer please, again and again please don’t go any further! This guy has his song list ready for you and he’s so ready to rock your night with amazing guests compliments.

David was a blast at our block party! We didn’t even have to give him recommendations because he had so many hits to work off of. Our neighbors also enjoyed his music. Would recommend him for your next event!

Festival•Reviewed on March 24, 2023•From Austin, TX
Phenomenal! Dave played a series of concerts at SXSW music festival for a global beverage client. Dave stood out all week! Among other artists, Dave was the crowd favorite over and over. A special performer & brilliant entertainer.
For intimate acoustic shows Dave created the perfect mood. In larger venues Dave killed it, building fun energy and engagement with audiences. A lot of happy executives.
Dave is a joy to work with. Great personality, really humble, always professional. I can’t recommend Dave enough. Our client is very keen on him and wants him for another event this summer.
Do yourself a favor and hire Dave. He’s outstanding!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on March 19, 2023•From Chicago, IL
Dave’s amazing! A true pro and an exceptional talent.
In 18 years booking events, I’ve hired great musicians, but Dave is by far the best! An incredible voice, phenomenal guitarist. Very versatile playing rock, pop, even Broadway tunes. Our guests absolutely loved him, asking constantly where I found him. He was the talk of the evening!
Dave is a true professional. Communication is top notch. Very proactive and organized. Led all logistics, texted me status, arrived 1 hour early, performed longer than contracted. He was exceptional!
Dave is a real find. We hired him again for a festival in Texas. We will absolutely be hiring Dave in the future.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dave. He is an amazing vocal talent and skilled guitarist. The celebration he played for was a couples wedding shower celebration that had a mix of guests. He could not have put together a more perfect playlist with something for everyone in the crowd. Our beautiful summer evening and backdrop of Lake Michigan all contributed to the nights's success. But I will forever remember his silhouette against the lake and his beautiful music!

Jill,
Thank you for having me be part of you and your hostesses’ special night with guests from all over the country. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for you. The lake front location was magical and the rain never came! Congratulations for making an amazing & memorable occasion for your newlyweds!
Dave

Retirement Party•Reviewed on July 26, 2022•From Lemont, IL
I tried to be very clear on what I was looking for in his performance. I asked several times to only play acoustic no large equipment. Instead he didn’t listen. I was very busy setting up and by the time I saw he had set up right in the middle of our party with large equipment and speakers. It was too loud and took up more room than needed leaving less room for my guests to be in the shade. The guest of honor couldn’t come out there because it was too loud for him to greet his guests. We dealt with it but for what we spent I wasn’t happy.

Hi Sandy (Dan’s Office Assistant)
I’m so sorry for the miscommunication.
In planning meetings/calls that you did not attend, continual direction changes were given to me by your boss, Guest of Honor (GOH) & venue manager, even minutes before start time. Had you been available before or during the event, it would have been wonderful to get your alignment.
For example, your vision to set up on the city memorial was not allowed per the venue. Or after 3 hours of acoustic for 800 guests, the GOH’s family wanted requests to sing & dance to.
The good news, feedback from guests, staff, & family was extremely positive all 5 hours, even asking for future availa
