Dan Kirouac

I provide quality music covering 40 years and spanning a couple different music styles. Solid communication leading up to your event.

With me, you'll get someone who knows what ‘too loud is.’ Someone who starts compulsively on time. Someone who dresses smart-casual or better, with no logo T-shirt as attire. Someone who keeps the language clean. Someone who not only doesn’t expect FREE booze, but also doesn’t drink alcohol on the job, period. Someone who will give you no grief, no hassles, no drama or surprises.

I have an excellent reputation for common sense, flexibility, professionalism, and longevity.

Part of the regional music scene for over forty years, Dan Kirouac has been an entertainer, drummer, keyboardist, guitarist, vocalist, and an ASCAP-affiliated songwriter and publisher who has performed hundreds of shows throughout New England, New York, and Mexico,and with studio recording credits from New Hampshire to Arizona. Specializing in delivering the best in mainstream and contemporary adult rock or pop from the 1960's to the turn of the century.

To help ensure a quality performance, my needs are minimal. I ask for a minimum space of 12' across X 9' front-to-back (more is always acceptable and welcome, of course.) If outdoors, a flat surface is needed (solid wood deck, concrete patio, or stage - - no bare ground.)

I need to be able to park my car as close as possible nearby, and to have unobstructed access to leaving after event is finished.

If outdoors, it is always best if you plan to have a tent covering - -with same dimensions as listed above. Other flexible options can be discussed ahead of time.

If an engagement where food is served, I would request dining access.

I ask permission to include a gratuity jar, placed subtly nearby me and I will make no obvious mention of it.

I ask that once I have begun a song, I be allowed to finish before someone needs to get my attention for some reason. Please no "slashing motions" to request the song be cut short---songs only usually run 3-4 minutes in length.
