Tell me the song you wish to have played, and if possible.. I'll learn it for you.
Dave was great- easy to communicate with, played requested songs, arrived early to set up, and sounded great. I would definitely call Dave again!
Response from Dave Monte:
Erin and her entire family were just the perfect group to perform for... You can't get nicer people and the guests of honor were extremely gracious... It was an honor to be trusted with a huge occasion and the location was awesome.... Every once you get a perfect gig and the ease of the communication and adapting to what the guests enjoy. I think everyone involved were of the highest character and it was a genuinely a client who deserved the best and I'm so pleased they were happy with my performance... Thanks again Erin!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Dave perform at our home yesterday for my husbands 40th birthday party. Dave was seamless to communicate with leading up to our event, he asked for songs that we love and he played them all along with his set list that he sent us in advance where we cherry picked from that as well. It was like we were at the best most private concert in our back yard. Dave went above and beyond he showed up early to set up brought an extra speaker so we could hear everywhere in the yard and not to mention it was horrible weather but we didn’t even care because Dave had us rocking all night. If you are looking to take your event to the next level this is your guy. Our party would not have been the same without him. Thank you Dave for making this special day next level. Can NOT wait to work together again.
Response from Dave Monte:
This was THE BEST PARTY EVER, With Inclement weather looming and then hitting hard... IT WAS FULL TILT GO and I love that spirit... I had more fun playing while watching the guests partying there was NO TOMORROW and just being the greatest audience ever and allowing me the privlidge to be part of this event...
I would play their tupperware party if they asked! Tori and Shawn are tops and I'm pretty proud to call them friends...
Photos from this event
Saw him at a bar. Friendly, interactive, talented performer with a great song selection. Would definitely recommend him!
Great performer, would have him at our events again.
Dave has a great voice. Songs were great. Unfortunately, the equipment was not. PA system or speakers sounded blown. Dave was very polite and helpful, he even stayed longer and played another set for us.
Response from Dave Monte:
Unfortunately, i did not know the size of the area i needed to throw sound to and i brought the wrong system..should have been larger.. But the client was pleased overall and im sure i got a better sound after moving speakers and adjustment...
Great customer, extremely nice people.. Plreasure playing for them...
Price Range: $200 and up-4 hours of Live Music
Gig Length: 90 - 240 minutes
Professional Appearance and Attitude, Personality and the ability to keep the patrons in the bar and keep the register ringing.
I've been performing acoustic classic rock since 1999. I've played all over NYC and NJ primarily but have done seasonal stints in Fla, NC, Ocean City MD, Myrtle Beach SC, the NJ Shore on occasion.
I bring great musicianship covering not only your standards like The Eagles type fare, but eclectic cuts by Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, The Stones, Tom Petty, Kid Rock, etc.
My goal or selling point is that when I am given the opportunity to play at a bar is that I realize that I'm responsible for keeping that register ringing and having people not only stay if they are there when I walk on, but have them call their friends all tell them "you've got to come check this guy out"!
So, I recognize that I'm pretty much handed the keys to the venue and take that very seriously but pride myself in bringing great material and great equipment to fit whatever room i am given the privilege to play.
