I am a seasoned guitarist, singer and emcee. I perform premier live acoustic music designed to elevate upscale private events—from elegant weddings and cocktail receptions to high-end corporate gatherings and luxury private parties.

My music has set the tone at some of Philadelphia’s most iconic venues, including The Ritz-Carlton, Water Works, The Lucy, and Moshulu.

Dave was absolutely phenomenal — he was great with communicating and working with us all the way up to the event. If we liked a song, Dave said he could do it. Everyone at our reception loved the music. It was absolutely perfect!
