One man outfit pumping out classic rock and top 40 for all you out there in music land. The right songs for a party night or kicking back with a few mates :)

Versatility, energy and soul are images that are brought to mind when you catch one of Daves shows. Not only is he able to cover many popular songs, but he also adds his own unique flavour to each of them, incorporating his own interpretation with the feel he draws from the audience. Having being a professional performer for the past 10 years, Dave has played a wide range of venues and events ranging from backyard weddings to corporate gigs on island resorts and every type of bar and pub in between. Affectionately dubbed “Jukebox” by patrons for his ability to convert a high percentage of requested songs into either a performance of the full version or at very least a recognizable sample to whet the appetite. If you would like a natural dynamic performer for your next party, wedding, bah mitzvah or venue, then look no further than Dave.
