pop, jazz, country and a touch of classical accompaniment.

guest singers / musicians.
Wedding Receptions
A musical mix is often requested;
typically, live music for cocktail hour and dinner
then mobile DJ for much of the traditional
celebration and dancing. Best of both,
music only experienced in a live performance
with expeditious interpretation of musical
form, style, dynamics and more;
an interaction between listeners and performers,
molding the performance to compliment the event,
never seeming to leave the core intent of the composition(s).
Later, familiar recorded pop music, foretold performances.
Also, Dave often provides music for wedding ceremonies.
Solo Piano for cocktails and dining
Familiar melodies from The Great American Song Book,
Standards, Songs from Broadway, popular ballads of the late 20th century and more.
Requests taken for favorites in an elegant setting. Dave began playing for such
sophisticated audiences in the 70's & 80's as pianist at Thayer Hotel (West Point NY).
These days for a few select, elegant venues providing a finishing touch for a wonderful meal.
Sometimes, later in the evening, also singing popular songs if/as appropriate.
