Feedback
- Dave is AMAZING!! Live music will never again be the same for me - Dave has set the bar much too high. But most importantly, the party we threw will never be forgotten thanks to Dave and his music. -- Nima S, Schaumburg, IL, 1/14/2012
- Dave was a true delight. Not only is he amazingly talented, but he was extremely personable and engaging. He really made my parent's 40th wedding anniversary a day we'll all remember. There is no doubt in my mind that I would recommend Dave and use him again in the future. -- Rebecca T, Elmhurst, IL, 11/20/2011
- I was blown away with Byron's talent just by watching a couple of his videos on gigmasters and listening to his audio, so I knew I had to book him for my wedding. Byron and his wife, were always very nice and answered my all my questions and emails promptly leading up to the day. Unfortunately due to schedule changes my guests weren't able to listen to his music as much as I would have liked them too but everybody enjoyed him playing in the style of Spanish guitar/flamenco music. My husband and I loved everything about his music and look forward to booking him for future events. He's great!!! -- Bianca L, Des Plaines, IL, 9/16/2011
- Dave was wonderful. He played for our wedding and everyone really loved him we got a lot of positive comments about him afterwards. I will definantly keep him in mind for any future events. -- Chris C, Plano, IL, 6/2/2007
- Book him! Book him! Book him! Dave Byron is an incredible musician and performer. On top of that he and his wife are really nice people. We had Dave perform at our country club Cinco De Mayo party and the young and the older all were captivated by his music. He started with classical guitar with a Spanish flair keeping in theme with our event and then moved on to his electric guitar. The electric was great as well. He is so talented he kept the spanish feel going with his electric perfectly. It was a nice change up in the performance. It brought the mood up from dinner time to party time without being too loud or rockin' for our older guests.
Many guests were asking for his card to book him for their own personal parties. I can't say enough about him. We will definitely book him again!!!! -- Beth M, Champaign, IL, 5/4/2007
- This performer was the high-point of our reception and more than we ever hoped for! Dave Byron has got to be one of the most talented artists is Chicago! We listened to his demos prior to requesting him to play at our wedding reception, but the live performance just blew away all of our guests! We specifically requested more of a Spanish-style performance and Dave had no trouble filling the full 3 hours with some of the most beautiful and romantic music many in our audience had ever heard! I would pay money to watch Dave and his guitar any day of the week - this is a first-class performer and talent. The audience loved Dave. An absolutely mesmerizing musician with precision, speed and technical mastery, an absolutely professional experience from first contact through the end of the event, and just an all-around great guy. Thanks for making our reception a memorable experience for us and for all our guests! -- Mark D, Chicago, IL, 2/10/2007
- Dave is very talented and extremely professional however we would have liked to seen his hair in a pony tail for this type of corporate cocktail reception. He was extremely accomodating and timely. Gave himself more than enough time to setup. His music selection was amazing, appropriate and very enjoyable. We would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a guitarist. What a great experience. -- Alexandra W, Chicago, IL, 10/20/2011
