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 made our Christmas celebration something all our family said was “the best Christmas ever!” He arrived on time and entertained all ages beautifully. We had ages 3- 65. About 25 people. He sang Beatles , Oasis, Radio head, a few Christmas songs, Elton John’s Crocodile Rock and more. We ended the evening with everyone gathered around like a campfire and singing along! What a blast!

David performed for us a second time for our daughter’s birthday party, and it was a wonderful event with his live music! He has an extensive song list of popular music, and even played nursery rhymes and some Christmas hits given the season! I’m so glad we made our event special with his entertainment! We already look forward to him performing another time!
