For mellow solo guitar, high energy party classics, or a combination of both I have it covered. Check out the attached videos. Cheers, and thanks for stopping by! Dave
He played a lot of classic rock and music from the 60's/70's. Our Residents who were younger than 80 really enjoyed the music.
Response from Dave Friedman - Guitarist:
Thank you Crystal I look forward to playing there again 👍
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Dave for an intimate event at short notice, and I must say that his performance exceeded all expectations. Dave's professionalism, talent, and willingness to accommodate our last-minute request made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
Dave gave us a perfect performance and our customer love it.
Highly recommend it.
Gentleman. Loves his craft. Entertaining. Wish he had a few more tracks to dance to for my Mother. Still great!
Response from Dave Friedman - Guitarist:
I had a great time playing your party Scotty...looking forward to next year! Cheers!
Dave performed for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party. He was awesome! Talented guitarist and vocalist. Highly recommended. Thanks Dave for performing for us. My parents and everyone enjoyed it. 😀
Response from Dave Friedman - Guitarist:
Thanks for booking me for your party Colleen. I had a great time. Cheers!
Dave was incredibly punctual. Not only for the event, but also in responding to our initial request for a quote which was super helpful. He was very friendly and played exactly the style of music our dad loves (Gypsy Kings/flamenco). He used a back track and played alongside it. Should we need to hire again, I’d ask that he play some solo guitar without the backtrack, or just to lower the backtrack to hear his talent more - I would have asked yesterday but dad loved it the way it was and that was what mattered! Great job Dave! Thank you!
Dave was a class act. Great set up and his performance and choice of songs was bang on!
Response from Dave Friedman - Guitarist:
Thank you Kelly, I had a great time playing your event.
Dave did the music at our corporate summer party and was nothing short of amazing. We will 100% engage him again for future performances.
Response from Dave Friedman - Guitarist:
Thank you Matthew for positive review. I enjoyed playing at your event. Cheers!

Dave came and played for the residents at Extendicare Oshawa and they had a blast! They loved listening to him, and some even got up to dance along. I have had so much great feedback about his performance.
