DESCRIPTION:
I'm a solo performer; I sing and play acoustic guitar and harmonica. I use no tapes, sequencers or drum machines. My songlist contains over 300 songs that would mostly fall into the category of 'acoustic classic rock'. Lots of Beatles, Stones, Doors, Dead, Dylan, Van Morrison, Eagles, Buffet, as well as country rock, Southern rock, folk, blues and R & B. If a song is requested that I don't know, I'll probably be able to do something by that artist or in the same genre.

    Dave provided wonderful entertainment for my wife's 40th birthday party. His songs and talent are exactly what's needed for a big family and friends bash. Great play list. Guests remarked that they were impressed with the quality and that he seemed to go all night without stopping. Looking forward to our next excuse for a big party with Dave.
