Introduction
Often dubbed "Cat Stevens meets Adam Levine," David is a pop/rock singer/songwriter/guitarist in the Washington, DC area who has shared the stage with/opened for an eclectic mix of acts both solo and with his full band, including Maroon 5, Toby Keith, Owl City, Journey and Eric Hutchinson, to name a few. He has also been a featured act for the Washington Redskins, Washington Nationals and the Citi Open (formerly the Legg Mason Tennis Classic). With a repertoire of over 500 songs when playing solo, including acoustic top 40 from the '60s to now, as well as original material in the singer-songwriter realm, he performs with any format from solo to a 4-piece rock band. David always makes an effort to try and fit with the flow/feel wherever he's playing. Some performances, like many wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours he's played, require a more intimate, laid back type of performance, sometimes as background music. Others, like bars and clubs, tend to need something more driving, upbeat, and "up front," so people can dance. He can provide both of these, or something in between even, depending on the circumstances and what's desired.

Amazing performer! I will be recommending David to my friends looking for entertainment for an event. David performed for my sister’s birthday and from the moment he strummed the first cord on his guitar he had guests dancing and signing to his songs all night . Music he played and sang was exceptional. He was very polite and professional. His performance made the night extra special. Even going the extra mile to extend his time upon request because we were having so much fun. Thanks David for everything!!

David and Leland were a wonderful addition to our condo’s holiday party! They are talented musicians, and their personalities added fun to the evening. The variety of their music was the perfect mixture, featuring holiday classics, oldies, and contemporary covers. They had our residents singing along and even dancing to their favorite songs. David was very flexible and easy to work with, responding quickly to all communications. After the positive reactions from our group, I hope we have the chance to hire them again!

Details: Holiday party • 76 - 100 guests • 51 or older • 31 - 50 years old • Vocals • Piano • Guitar • Pop / top 40 • Rock / classic rock • Covers • Other

We "Celebrated a Century" with David. My grandmother turned 100 years old and we honored her with a formal elegant dinner. David provided us with a 2 hour post dinner performance. Our guest had a great time singing along, clapping, swaying, and at times dancing. The entertainment closed our event out with on a special note, literally. Definitely loved David's energy.

David played the music for my ceremony and it was such a beautiful addition to the day!! He was easy to work with and his selection of song choices is pretty much endless. I got married in the middle of nowhere and was glad to commute over an hour away.
