High energy and engaging musical entertainment featuring acoustic guitar, vocals, ukulele, whistling, kazoo, mouth trumpet, and foot tambourine. Playing classic favorites from Elvis, The Beatles, CCR, Beach Boys, Bill Withers, the Eagles and much more! Plus, I'd be thrilled to learn your favorites by request and add them to my ever expanding repertoire. Perfect for any event from background music to full audience engagement with lighthearted and comical banter.
Dave (Strummy) was a huge hit at my daughter‘s sixth birthday party! He was fun, interactive, flexible and easy to work with. He was super accommodating and made sure the kids had a great time. He got the kids up and moving, dancing and playing. Great way for them to burn off the sugar buzz from the cake! He really was the highlight of the party and thinking about what it would’ve been like without him there, seems like it would have been on the boring side. It definitely gave the party a special and unique feel. Other parents were asking where I found him. He truly is a talented musician and is not just a children’s music performer, and that is evident. He does weddings, plays in bands, etc. he’d be a great hire for any event! I feel lucky that we were able to use him.
Dave performed a three hour set during a backyard birthday party. Dave was on time, courteous, and provided the perfect setlist for the party. We received lots of compliments. I'll keep Dave in mind for future events where we want live music.
Dave and I had a great session. He played his instrument so well. Next time I would love to have a longer session. Would definitely recommend!
Dave played an event for us on Halloween weekend and it was great! Perfect mix of songs, sounded great and he also took some requests. He was instrumental in making this a 100% success and even brought a costume. Thanks Dave!
Dave was amazing! He was engaging with the kiddos and was a huge hit at our Indoor Play Gym for kids! Everyone was raving about how amazing his music show was.
I hired Dave to perform at a community street festival in Grand Rapids. He performed a variety of popular covers that entertained all ages at our event. The attendees could not stop raving about the music. On top of an excellent performer, Dave is also an absolute pleasure to work with!
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Rebecca,
Thank you so much for these kind words! This event was a wonderful last performance in Michigan to send me off to Nashville in great spirits!
We invited Dave to perform for our two Memory Support areas in Porter hills Village. He was wonderful. He interacted with out residents. He encouraged them to participate with him, and then praised them for doing so. He played a variety of music that relayed with the residents. Usually, most of our residents clap along, Dave managed to have several residents and team members dancing and wanting more.
He was polite and respectful. We will be inviting him back as much as possible. Thank you Dave for sparking those memories of the past and rocking our souls!
We had Dave at our assisted living community and our residents got such a hoot out of him!!
Dave came to our nursing facility and did a wonderful job. Our residents loved his music and we look forward to him coming back to share his music again. He played for close to a hour, many popular songs that everyone knew and many sang along with him. Dave also was very cooperative with all of the covid requirements that we asked of him. Our facility looks forward to having him back.
Dave provided the music for our company holiday party, though we scrapped the holiday music. He has a vast catalog to draw from. We would definitely hire again.
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thanks so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed the music! I’m also glad we dropped the holiday music, and just went with classic favorites. I look forward to playing for you all again!
From my very first contact with Dave, he was professional, kind and helpful. I wanted live beautiful music to honor my husband and Dave did a wonderful job. We received so many positive comments about the music played and his amazing voice. I highly recommend this talented artist.

Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Karen - thank you so much. I am so glad to have been able to contribute to such a beautiful event.
Dave came in and performed an hour show for our long term care residents with dementia. He was very intentional with his engagement with the residents by including them in sing alongs, learning their names, and including them in music choices. He was very creative with using his vocals, guitar, and kazoo! I highly recommend Dave to come perform for residents! He also followed all COVID protocols and sang with mask on for the whole show.
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the performance :) Can't wait to come back and play for everyone again.
Dave came to the nursing home where I work to sing a concert for my residents. He had them all smiling and singing along in no time! There were even several of them dancing in their chairs while he sang. The song choices were perfect and his talent is evident! I loved hearing him sing and play a couple different instruments as well. The entire concert was lots of fun and incredibly enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend Dave!
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thank you so much! So glad everyone enjoyed the show! I look forward to coming back again :)
Dave is a wonderful singer and guitar player. He had our group singing along and dancing the whole time with his great song selection.
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the music, and I loved seeing everyone dance along. I look forward to playing for you all again :)
Dave entertained our crowd of 40 at a nonprofit fundraiser. He was awesome. He showed up in the pouring rain for an outdoor event and rolled with it! Dave played the perfect mix of songs and handled many requests. He has a great variety and is so easy to work with!
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the music - it was a blast playing for everyone! It wasn't so bad once we got out of the rain :)
I have used and continue to use Dave Strumfeld for many performances through Senior Sing A-Long.
He provides music for my residents at an Assisted Living Home. During Covid Dave was amazing and so flexible. He did a lot of Zoom performances in the colder months and outdoor performances in the warmer months. He is very good at reading the crowd and picking music based on the crowds response and age.
Response from Dave Strumfeld:
Thank you so much! It is always a pleasure performing for your community, can't wait to come back!

You can expect a fun and energetic performance every time! I can provide perfect background music or an engaging concert for listening or dancing. I have a sweet but powerful voice accompanied by rhythmic and lively acoustic guitar playing. I work with many musicians in Nashville and can put together exactly the right ensemble for your event!
I am a full time musical entertainer, producer, composer, and music teacher. I have performed over 1000 concerts in 42 states, written several original albums, and have appeared on Sofar Sounds and Daytrotter. I have a Master's Degree in Music from SUNY Purchase.
I put on an engaging live concert filled with classic favorites, sing-alongs, and hits with a specialty in songs from the 1950s through the 1980s. I also put on a wonderful Christmas concert with everything from Jingle Bell Rock to Silent Night.
I provide all of my own equipment, all I need is an outlet.
I use a high quality microphone and PA System so my performance sounds clear and vibrant for any venue.
If we do a virtual concert, all you need to do is set up a Zoom meeting. I will set the stage with an interesting background and I will use a high quality microphone.
