CLIENT FEEDBACK:
The Dave Johnson Band is the perfect band to hire for any occassion. They can configure a 5 or 6 piece combo, or, as we hired, a full 10 piece swing band with vocals. The band set up their band stands and arrived early - in their tuxedos - which blended perfect with our black tie fundraising event. I can not imagine any more professionalism from a band than what we received. A 5 star band without a doubt.

Dave and the rest of the band were fantastic. Given the chance to do things over, I would hire them again without hesitation.

Fantastic! They did everything I asked. They performed for cocktail hour between my wedding and my reception. My guests really enjoyed the music, which made me really happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone. They made everything incredibly easy for me from the moment I first inquired about their services all the way through to the end. I can't say enough good things. Very pleased!!!!

What a great thrill it was for our guests to hear the magnificent sounds of The Dave Johnson Band. The beautifully executed our theme of The Big Band Era and complimented that with a fabulous mix of other genres. In the four years we have produced this event at the Wilshire Country Club we had more guests on the dance floor than ever before. One of the many remarks I received is that they wished they had more time to dance!
I also LOVED that they came in tuxedos and had music stands with shells, reminicent of the era. They are a very classy act and added just the elegant touch to the evening that was desired.
Our thanks to magnificent Dave Johnson Band
