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.

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!

David was great performing at our 4th of July neighborhood party. He played all genres of music and various artists having a very extensive playlist. Best of all he sounded great. The neighbors enjoyed his sounds and the kids loved he took some requests. NO Baby Shark TG! Many compliments from the neighborhood. Will bring him back to our next party for sure. Highly Recommend David.
