I worked with Dan for two corporate events over the last few months and the entire process was seamless from start to finish. I was unable to attend the first event but my colleagues raved about his professionalism and the quality of his performance - we requested Canadian cover songs which went over well. The second show was excellent and the client we planned this for was very pleased. Dan is very easygoing and easy to work with - you can just tell he's a good guy. I look forward to booking him for shows again!

Thank-you so much, Sina! It was a pleasure performing for you.
We utilized Dan for one of our new store openings in Toronto, and I couldn't be happier we got connected. He was the perfect fit for us, accommodated our needs, took the bit of direction we provided in terms of demographics & genre, and he nailed it! Definitely the highlight of our event, and it wouldn't have been NEAR the experience without him.

Kyla,
Thank-you so much! It was such a pleasure to work with you.
I’ve been a fan of Dan’s music for 20 years, and he played for a corporate client of mine at a public event. Dan accommodated the client’s requests, and brought peace of mind that only comes with knowing the music (and tech) is in the hands of a seasoned pro.

Thank-you so much, Jay!
Dan is an amazing singer and musician who lit up my wife's eyes with tears. He sang the requested songs perfectly and had the restaurant staff all awestruck. It was such a memorable event, that I must recommend his services to everyone out there. He was on time and thorough, as well. He was very friendly and went above and beyond to make my wife's birthday extra special.

We got Dan to play at my husband's 40th birthday and it was a surprise. My husband and everyone who attended the party really enjoyed Dan's performance. I first had him play for 1.5 hours but the crowd really enjoyed him so I extended it for another hour! The music, guitar and singing was amazing and I am so glad I contacted Dan. I would highly recommend Dan for any event or party! Thank you Dan!!

Dinali, thank-you so much for having me!
I booked Dan to surprise my girlfriend and her parents for Valentine’s Day. He was incredible from the start. Extremely friendly and made it really easy to organize together. His cover of John Mayer was excellent and he really made the event feel special with his friendly stage presence. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone who is planning a personal event.

Dan was 1 of our virtual music artists who performed during the networking breaks during our 3 day virtual conference. I can't say enough good things about Dan. His 2 fifteen minute time slots were very well received by our attendees. The attendees raved about his performance. Dan was great to work with, completely professional and reasonably priced. We definitely would work with him again. Thanks Dan, it was a great experience for all.

Great experience! Dan played a small setting for my wife’s birthday. Took our requests beforehand and during the set. Very professional. Strongly recommended and would gladly hire again.

Response from Dan Kosub:
Thanks so much John! The pleasure was mine.
We are extremely picky and were searching incessantly for the right live music for our big day. By total chance we saw Daniel performing at a hotel we were staying at and were completely blown away. They kept everyone dancing all night, and even my hard to please parents were impressed. Thanks to Daniel and the band for giving us the night we'd always hoped for!

About
Dan Kosub is a prolific musician who has been a tenacious presence in the Canadian Music Scene for the better part of a decade.
Kosub plays countless cover music venues in around the Greater Toronto Area, and has toured his original music relentlessly around North America. In his cover work, he specializes in Rock, pop, celtic, country, jazz and many more. He has performed a several premier venues and Canadian festivals including TIFF, Rifflandia, Rock of the Woods, five years at Canadian Music Week, and many more. Additionally, Kosub has received heavy rotation on Canadian television of his single “Blue & Grey” (Reservoir, 2008) and a hard-earned spot on the Mediabase Alternative rock charts for his single “Aurelia” (Jacob's Island, 2011).
In early 2015, Kosub released his third record Blood Honey Moon, produced by Winston Hauschild (Hannah Georgas, Hey! Ocean, Wanting) a three-song EP that delves both deeper into his love of pop, roots, and politics. The record's leading single is “Reason to Go”, a catchy acoustic driven singalong.
Kosub is currently back home in Toronto, playing in and around the city, and writing a followup to Blood Honey Moon, which he intends to release this fall.
