I had a large birthday party, with professional, internationally known musicians in attendance. Everybody enjoyed his music, and he puts the crowd at ease. David is an extremely talented musician and vocalist. Don't look any further. Hire David. You will not regret it.

The group was dancing in their chairs to the music. We look forward to having David back.

I asked David to sing the Beatles song "When I'm 64" at my husband's 64th birthday party. David learned this song and delivered it flawlessly for our party in only a few days. He was very professional and was flexible on revising the time when requested. Everyone loved the performance, especially my husband who was quite surprised when he arrived.He's a very talented musician and singer and I recommend him highly. Thank you again David! 5 Stars! *****

David was very professional. Though it was his first Indian gig, he played mindfully. His acoustic guitar sounded very clean and pure. I enjoyed singing with his masterful accompaniment.

David played during our wedding, and I can't tell you how many guests specifically commented on how awesome his music was. He was easy to work with, reliable, and extremely talented.

Response from David Landon:
Thank You Liz! It was a lovely gathering and a pleasure to play for you. I am happy everyone enjoyed the music.
David did a great job choosing music that fit the mood from pre-ceremony through to our cocktail reception. I got lots of feedback on his great performance. Some pre-event communications could have been a bit smoother, but the really important thing - the wedding songs and entertainment were spot on. Thanks, David!

David lit up my husband's 40th birthday party with numbers from classic rock, some light blues and contemporary music. He has a very soulful voice that resonated greatly with our audience.
On the organization side of things, he came up well ahead of time to set up his audio system and consult with me because I had signed him up just a day ahead of the event. He also had a very friendly disposition and all in all was a fabulous performer.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give David Landon a 10+. His beautiful guitar music was appreciated by my guests at a "Celebration of Life" event yesterday. David was personable and knew exactly the type of music I wanted him to play that would be enjoyed by everyone. I would hire him again and would gladly give him as a recommendation to anyone looking for a polished guitarist.
Jazz Guitarist
David is easy and very professional to work with! He is a fantastic musician that plays a wide range of music. I had him play acoustic guitar for my mother's 85th birthday and he plugged into exactly what I was looking for. He was on time and set up before I arrived with the centerpieces. I am hoping to be able to work with him again sometime soon!

We hired David for a 50th Birthday Party, just him and a guitar for background music. He accommodated our musical tastes and desires, showed up on time (early, in fact), and was excellent - a very talented guitar player and singer. Everyone in attendance loved his music and he really helped make the event special.
I highly recommend David Landon to anyone who would like a talented, professional musician to add live music to their event.

David filled in for me as a last minute acoustic guitarist for my wedding and he played beautifully and his voice was fantastic! I was hoping to be able to say good bye to him when he left but shucks... missed him and he disappeared into the evening as people came up to congratulate me. However, he dealt with the best man on arrival and I was told he was very professional and courteous. He learned a couple of songs on the fly too!

David Landon played at my wife's birthday party.
He is both a talented musician and knows how to work the crowd.
He played a number of requests from the audience and specially prepared some songs for my wife.
He was also accomodating because many of my wife's friends had kid who played in the background while we all enjoyed his music.
I would recommend David for your event.

Party Band
David is not only a wonderful musician, but a pleasure to have at our party! He was very professional, flexible, and extremely talented. He has a very wide repertoire (I especially liked his blues). I would definitely hire him again (and his band for a larger event).

I'm so glad to see David on Gig Salad! He is a consummate professional, on time, on budget, "in tune!" He really made the event a memorable, special evening. I've had the pleasure of hearing David's music at many events, but they only gave me the option of choosing one date! Give him a call, you be glad you did. :)

What to Expect
Clients can expect the ultimate in professionalism combined with excellent music and a courteous,well dressed and personable entertainer. I show up early, start playing on time, keep my breaks to 15 minutes, interface well with clients and provide the highest caliber of music at every event. I am committed to playing great every time and never just "go through the motions" when I am performing- wether it be for 5 people or 5,000. There is no excuse for not giving 1000% every time I pick up my guitar and the musicians I bring to play with me know that they are expected to do the same - and they do. Every event planner that hires me knows that once I am on the job they have one less thing to worry about as the music provided will be a success in every way.
