*US TOP 5/BEST OF 2012!* Planning an event where 'a guy & a guitar' won't cut it, but a band is just too much? David is the best of both! -"Great singer" "Amazing guitarist" "Who needs a band?" "Everyone loved David"- *Music makes or breaks events! Compare demos carefully before hiring!* You'll find: from relaxing acoustic ceremony/dinner music to rocking a party, "David is as good as it gets!"

David uses his award-winning talent, decades of performing experience and his uncanny ability to 'read the crowd' to provide most any size and events with the perfect music mix. He records many of his own arrangements, playing all the instruments, then sings the lead vocals & plays the guitar parts live. He uses high-end digital technology, premium Bose PA system, elevated programmable lights, electronic background vocals, and the result sounds like a full band, (but without the much higher costs, logistics hassles, space requirements & volume issues you'll have with a band). People are amazed that all that sound and variety is coming from a one man!
