Energetic acoustic rock act with occasional harmonica playing favorite hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today. A big voice from one man and with percussive acoustic guitar rocking, he makes it sound like a full band with one guitar. The feeling is electric with David Kav!
David was awesome for our backyard event. We will definitely have him play again.

Thank you so very much for your kind words, Kathryn! It was a privilege and an honor to play for your event! Thank you so much for having me! Looking forward to working with you again. Stay healthy!
Best regards,

So glad we booked David! Playlist was perfect and having him play at my party made the event truly special. He’s incredibly talented and humble! Will absolutely book him again! You won’t be disappointed!
David is an incredible artist. High recommend hiring him for your event.
Dave was great. More than great! He read the crowd and played fabulous music for us. One right after the next of songs we were all singing to! I do not think there could have been a better person to have played at our wedding. I did not know Dave, did not hear of him previous to hiring him...just watched his You Tube clips. I have to tell you that I am a professional musician as well and teach voice at a University and many of my colleagues were present along with about 40 present and past students and we all completely enjoyed the performance. I am a music snob and WE LOVED HIM!! I will refer him out as much as I can. Hire Dave. You will not regret it.
Response from David Kav's Rocking Troubadour Service:
Gloria - to say that I am honored in every way by this review is a complete understatement! It was an extreme privilege and an honor to have been an integral part of your special day. Coming from someone with your credentials - this has got to be one of the BEST reviews of my career. I am extremely grateful and thankful for your kind words, your consideration and your patronage!
If ever I can be of service again, please do not hesitate to let me know. I wish you and Randy all of the best!
Thank you so much, again!
Best regards,
David Kav
I hired David Kav to play guitar and sing at my husband's 50th birthday party. Wow! He was amazing from the first text message until the last song of the night! I had never hired a musician before and Gig Salad made it really easy. I asked David to send me a few video samples of his work ( I requested 80s - today covers) and he made three videos to send me so I could make a decision. I also hired him to make a fun video of him singing the Beatles' Birthday song to reveal this surprise to my husband. I was able to choose the songs I wanted him to play from his list and he learned a song or two that I requested. David's voice is awesome and he plays well to the crowd. He worked hard, but it was clear he was also loves to perform! All night long our friends told me how much they loved him! If you have a business with an open house or have a special event at your home that you want to make really special and you live in central Iowa, you've gotta hire this guy!
