• Musician friends had recommended Nawlin's Po' Boy'z and they certainly didn't disappoint. Excellent interaction with the crowd, huge range of music and they were just all 'round great guys. People kept asking, 'Where did you find these guys?' They played into the wee hours and would only stop when 'Tampa's Finest' put in the final request of the night (in a nice way, of course). This was a Zydeco themed party however, I would have no problem bringing them back for a host of other themes... Thanks! Aeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! -- Timothy H, Tampa, FL, 4/28/2011

• The Po' Boy'z were great. This was a corporate festival during Bike Week in Daytona and had the crowd in their hand, a crowd that is usually there to just see new bikes and not listen to music. We will do this again -- Whit L, Daytona Beach, FL, 3/4/2008
• Dave not only played a georgous rendition of "let me call you sweetheart " solo on the violin for our ceremony, he rocked our reception with fantastic cajun music and anything else the guests requested. Dave also was able to do our wedding dance song, Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" and it was beautiful. We had so many compliments on the music from the reception we would recommend him to any type or size of wedding or any other venue for that matter! Thanks Dave! -- Gretchen W, New Orleans, LA, 2/16/2008

• They are terrific. A good range of music, very personable, got the crowd involved. We definately would hire them again. Only reason we give them a 4.5 on professionalism is that they had a technical problem to begin the show and got a late start. But actually that wasn't a real problem so I might even change that to a 5.0 too! You would not go wrong hiring Cajun Dave. -- Christine S, Gainesville, FL, 9/29/2007

• The Nawlins' Po Boyz were a pleasure to work with, from the initial booking through to the end of the event. They were very cooperative and prompt in providing requested information, arrived with ample time to set up and do a sound check, and put everything they had into their performance. They are a very talented, entertaining group and I look forward to inviting them back in the future. -- Vickey Z, Fort Walton Beach, FL, 9/11/2005
• We had the Nawlin's Po' Boy'z (Cajun Dave) perform at our wedding in New orleans. They were a huge hit with us and our guests. They played their own music but also took multiple requests. They were expert at the fiddle and kept the guests entertained. They provided beads, wigs, umbrellas and multiple other props that our guests loved. They play a wide variety of music and multiple instruments. My husband and I highly recommend Cajun Dave. -- Siobain F, New Orleans, LA, 9/10/2010

• These guys were great!! They were perfect for our low country boil and everyone really enjoyed the music. The are very professional and were always easy to get in touch with when I needed something leading up to our event.
