Dale made our Labor Day party next level. His easy listening vibe was perfect for our backyard party, and everyone loved his playlist. Dale is very friendly and easy to work with.
We hope he will pencil us in for next year.

Dale provided music at our fall farm event while our guests ate snacks in our refreshment barn. His acoustic playing and singing was perfect and exactly what we wanted. He was easy to work with and we would certainly invite him back.
