Description

David O'Connor has extensive musical experience, having toured internationally with Leonard Cohen and others. Stateside, he's played in salsa bands, rock bands, jazz bands, duos, trios, you name it. His main interest currently is solo guitar. He plays Spanish, Brazilian, classical, pop, jazz, Latin -- as well as his original songs which draw from his love of all of the above. Often his originals have been chosen by brides and grooms for their processionals and recessionals during their wedding ceremonies. David plays a classical-style nylon-string guitar, and creates a classy atmosphere for any occasion, indoors or out, from the most casual to the most elegant. He's played hundreds of weddings and also performs for corporate events, cocktail hours, private parties, dinner background, and for a variety of special occasions from north of San Francisco to the Monterey Bay and Carmel. His solo sound is full and rich. Don't hesitate to contact David. Check out his website and email or give him a call to talk about your upcoming occasion.

Feedback

  • David was a real professional. He arrived early was accommodating, very conscious about breaks and best of all extremely talented. I can’t say enough good things about him...To sum up his credibility, when I accidentally overpaid him he called the next day and explained why he was sending me a check back for the difference. I wish all the folks I have hired over the years were a honest and hard working. I will hire him again. -- Tom B, Oakland, CA, 9/26/2009
  • David played at our wedding. He was fantastic and brought great atmosphere to the ceremony. Highly recommended. -- Susan M, Napa, CA, 1/10/2009
  • Great performer. The music was just what we wanted. He was very willing to arrange things to suit us and met with us a week or two before the wedding for a long time to go over our music selection. -- Bruce H, Corralitos, CA, 9/21/2008
  • David was very friendly, professional, talented, and I would hire him again. -- Lindsey Y, Santa Cruz, CA, 10/28/2009
