I specialize in classic acoustic folk rock, both up-tempo and ballads, doing covers from such artists as James Taylor, The Beatles, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffet, and Dan Fogelberg, among MANY others, as well as current artists and original tunes. My song list currently has over 300 selections, with new songs being added all the time. I am always professional in appearance and presentation, always on time, and have a great rapport with the audience. With over 30 years of experience you won't be disappointed. I offer reasonable rates, and I'm usually available on fairly short notice and during weekdays. Available for restaurants, bars, weddings, and private parties!
He was amazing to work with and has such a great variety of music. Prompt and a great addition to our event.
Response from David Porter:

David played for us this past Saturday night and it couldn't have gone better. Songs the patrons knew and sang along with.....all the right songs....Afterwards I had customers come up to me and say how pleased they were with David and please have him back. So book him for your event and you won't regret it!
Response from David Porter:
Thank you for the kind words, David, it was a fun night! I look forward to being back at The Rust Onion in early March and making it another memorable evening!
David was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. He asked us what song we would like for the bride to walk up to and to leave with. He gave us some suggestions as well when we were not sure what we wanted to play. After the ceremony David walked to where the wedding party and all the guests were mingling. He continued to play and sing staying close enough everyone could hear him. We had an outdoor wedding with no PA system as it was not an option. However, David worked with us to find the best solution we could and it turned out great! I cannot recommend hiring David enough. He was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding.
Response from David Porter:
Chris, thank you for the kind words and your generosity. You and Kayla make an amazing couple and I'm so pleased I as able to be a small part of your special day! Everyone was so nice to me and I'm delighted that you are happy with my small contribution. If you two are in this area in the future, I hope you'll look me up and catch a performance. Best wishes to you both!
Always enjoy when David performs at our flagship HT bar. Exceptional guitar whether strumming or picking along with his pitch perfect vocals.
Response from David Porter:
Thank you very much for your kind words, Dan! I appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you often at our favorite HT wine bars.
David did such a great job at our corporate event. He played songs that everybody knew, and he is very talented. A pleasure to listen to! Personable, friendly, and prompt. Already planning to have him back at our next event!
Response from David Porter:
Suzanne, thank you again for inviting me to be a small part of your ribbon-cutting festivities! I enjoyed meeting so many nice people and getting a look at your beautiful facility. Please don't hesitate to call on me if I can be of service in the future.
I had a Christmas party at home two days ago. I want to thank David for the great party that we had. He came on time, and all my guests and I enjoyed his talent. He is very professional; if I could give him more STARTS for his excellent work, I would.
I can highly recommend him
thanks, David, again
Response from David Porter:
Sarid, thank you and Ronnie for inviting me into your beautiful home and for being such gracious hosts. It was a fun night and I enjoyed meeting you and your friends. If I can ever be of service in the future, please don't hesitate to call on me - I'd love to see everyone again. Merry Christmas!

I don’t even know where to start. David was AMAZING. Not only is he a super talented musician, he’s a wonderful person and so engaging! Our guests were hanging on every lyric and kept requesting more! He was so amazing they didn’t want it to end! We will definitely be booking him again. Thank you so much David!
Response from David Porter:
Kelly, thank you - and Matt - for letting me join the party! I immediately felt like I was just hanging with a bunch of my friends, and the time just flew by! And thank you for feeding me, as well. That's always an extra treat! I hope we can all get together again soon. I appreciate the kind words! -D
For my husband's 50th birthday, his only request was to have David Porter sing at the event.
We love David's voice, vast selection of songs, and personality.
The birthday celebration was a huge success and David played a big part in that.
Thank you so much!
The Sellers Family
Response from David Porter:
Lindy, thank you and Chris for allowing me to join in the celebration of Chris' birthday! It was such a pleasure to get to know you better and to meet so many of your wonderful friends and family. I hope we can do it again soon (next February?). Until then, I look forward to seeing you guys at Grapes!
We will definitely hire him again.. He was friendly played with people wanted to hear and was kind and courteous.
Response from David Porter:
Cherrilynn, thank you again for letting me be a small part of your ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration today. You have a beautiful facility and wonderful people and I'm sure there are great things to come for all of you. I look forward to being back and a long, fun relationship between us!
We used David for our son's 21st birthday party and it went great. He was on time, played great, and everyone enjoyed his performance very much!
Response from David Porter:
Elizabeth, thank you again for letting me be a small part of such a great evening! I enjoyed meeting Sammy, Will, and all their friends - they're really good kids. If I can be of service again in the future please don't hesitate to call on me (and thanks for dinner, too)!
David arrived on time, started on time, was accommodating, personable, and talented. He provided effective entertainment, that I consider great value for the cost. Multiple guests at the event told me they were impressed with his performance. I would hire him again, and recommend him to others.
Response from David Porter:
Thank you again for letting me be a small part of Charles' birthday celebration, Shannon! You have a wonderful group of friends and it was a fun evening. I hope to see you all again soon!
David played at my aunt’s birthday party for roughly 50 of us and he was fantastic. His song selection was excellent. His guitar playing and voice were great. He let my brother play along with him for several songs. He bought the birthday girl flowers! And he never took a break, played for several hours straight. He’s very talented and an extremely nice person.
Response from David Porter:
La, thank you for such a nice review! LaLa's party was so much fun and everyone there couldn't have been nicer. It was such a pleasure to be around your family and friends that the time just flew by. As you said, reviews and word-of-mouth are such an important factor when folks are considering booking me, and I appreciate you taking the time to do this. I hope we can all get together again in the future! -David
David gave great interaction and was thoroughly enjoyed by our residents. I had multiple residents compliment his performance which says a lot!
Response from David Porter:
Rhema, thank you again for allowing me to perform for your residents at Cadence Living! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you, Ms. Kat, and everyone else who attended. If I can be of service in the future please don't hesitate to contact me - I'd love to come back!
David made our celebration complete! Energetic and skillful! Could not have possibly gone better!
Response from David Porter:
Eric, it was such a fun evening! Barrel and Fork has such a great atmosphere, wonderful customers, and an amazing staff to work with. Thank you for letting me part of your New Year's Eve celebration! I would love to come back whenever you need me. Happy New Year! -David
Just met David during his break performing at the Harris Teeter bar on Providence
Road. Great guy and musician! We really enjoyed listening to him play. I've already recommended him to an event planner I work with on a twice yearly fundraiser.
Response from David Porter:
Joann and Phil, this was really unexpected, thank you so much! I enjoyed getting to meet you and am delighted you had a good time. I look forward to hearing from Frank and hope we can work something out for your fundraiser. Until then, I hope to see you back at H-T soon. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Saw/heard David at Stumptown Station and it was great! He kept the crowd engaged, dancing and singing along.
Response from David Porter:
Thank you, Bob, so nice of you to share! I hope to see you at STS again soon!
Not only is David always on time and friendly, he knows exactly how to work a crowd! Our bartenders love working when David is performing because he always keeps a great energy going and customers truly enjoy themselves. We found David on GigSalad and it was the best decision we have made! I would highly recommend David for any size party or type of occasion, as he has proven time and time again to be able to adapt to anything that is thrown at him. You Rock, David!
Response from David Porter:
Thank you for the kind words, Brittany! Stumptown Station has become one of my absolute favorite places to play and I recommend you to friends and people I meet all the time! You, Brandon, Josh, and the rest of the gang have made me feel like family and I can't wait to get back there every month to see what kind of fun we can get into!
David was perfect for our event. Would book again!
Response from David Porter:
Jenny, thank you for the kind words and for having me entertain during your cocktail hour at the Ballantyne Resort! I enjoyed chatting with some of your guests and am delighted that I was able to provide the atmosphere you were looking for. If I can ever be of service again, please don't hesitate to call on me!
We met David at our friends event (she is extremely selective on who she hires) and we immediately booked him for our New Years Eve party. The event at my friends house blew us away--everyone was dancing and requesting songs and having fun.
At our event, he created an ambiance that was perfect--managing to please the adults and teenagers in the group. We still receive complements about his music that evening--and all we did was book him! It was a wonderful evening and we are already looking for another opportunity to welcome him back into our home.
Response from David Porter:
Thank you and your family, Talli, for inviting me into you lovely home and letting me be a part of such a fun evening! You were terrific hosts and your friends were all a blast to be around. I look forward to seeing all of you again in the future. I really appreciate your kind words!
David is wonderful! He played for me at a previous location every week, and when I moved to where I am now, I Had to get him into my new location as well. Unfortunately for me, now I only have him once a month, but it's well worth it. He makes friends with the crowd and has turned many of them into regulars for our restaurant! On top of all that, he's a really good musician! If you're looking for someone for acoustic classic rock, this is the guy you're looking for.
Response from David Porter:
Thank you, Jon! With much thanks to you, both CharBar7 locations (Matthews and Carmel Road) have become like second families to me. I truly appreciate your confidence in me and support of live music and look forward to a long relationship!
David is fantastic! He has been performing live on our patio every Wednesday evening for quite some time now and recently has started at our other location in Charlotte. We love having him here and the guests love him as well. He is consistently here early to get set up, starts right on time, and has a great mix of music. The guests are always happy to see the extensive list of songs they can request; in fact there are quite a few that come specifically for his performance. David is polite, professional, and friendly, and we hope he will continue to come entertain our guests and staff for a very long time!
Response from David Porter:
It looks like our little "test run" of a year and a half ago has worked out pretty well! CharBar7 in Matthews has become my home-away-from-home, and I always look forward to being there. The staff is always friendly and gracious, the food is excellent, and I've made so many new friends in the folks who come regularly to eat, drink, and sing with us! Thank you for having me - looks like CB7 is stuck with me now!
David was exactly on time that I had requested since this was going to be a surprise event. I had selected a few songs from his playlist. He was extremely professional, courteous and is extremely talented with the guitar! Looking forward to working with him again!
Response from David Porter:
Anupam, thank you again for letting me be a small part of your special surprise for your wife! It was a lot of fun to be in on the secret. You have a lovely family, and I'm betting on many more years of happiness for you and Monu. I hope to see you again soon!
We met David at another event and knew he'd be perfect for our Fourth of July party at our neighborhood swim club. We appreciated his appropriate song choices and attention to the crowd. He even sang "Happy Birthday" to a guest! In a day of pre-recorded music and machines, it's nice to have someone with their own creativity and talent! We were so happy with him that we booked him for another event!
Response from David Porter:
Asheley, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your July 4th party, and for the kind words. Gatherings like yours are exactly why I enjoy performing at private parties so much: everyone was so friendly and welcoming and seemed to have a great time - even in the 93 degree heat (which was ideal for a pool party)! I can't wait to get back and see everyone again on Labor Day!
David played at our home for my husbands birthday and he was great! He had a wide range of songs from which I could select and kept the party fun! He was professional- showed up early, had everything he needed to set up, and was polite and engaging with our guests. We will definitely use David again and I highly recommend him if you want a true musician at your event!
Response from David Porter:
Beth, thank you for letting me a part of the birthday festivities for Taylor! You and all your friends were delightful, and your "princess" was a doll. We even avoided the rain for 99% of the evening! I had a great time with your group and if I can ever be of service in the future don't hesitate to contact me. That was fun!
Met David at a local restaurant, hired him to come and make a birthday lunch bash for 2 ladies even more fun!! We all sang, danced and enjoyed for 3 hours!!!
Response from David Porter:
Chantal, what a great group of ladies and a fun afternoon! Hope to see you all again soon. Thanks for having me!
David performed at our wedding this past March at Sugar Creek Brewery in Charlotte, NC and did an incredible job! We communicated with him through email/phone calls to which he always replied to promptly; we also saw him perform live at a local venue prior to our event. I provided him some direction with where to set up and we collaborated on a song list; he has many songs to choose from and he also learned two new songs for our procession and recession; he exceeded our expectations!
I highly recommend David to anyone looking for an incredible guitarist to add a beautiful soundtrack to their wedding or special event!
Response from David Porter:
Emmelie, it was such an honor to be included in your special day! You and Mike make a beautiful couple, and I must admit I got a little misty-eyed when you came down the aisle (I'm a sucker for brides). I spoke with several guests at the wedding and they were all so nice and welcoming. I wish you two all the happiness in the world, and if I can ever be of service to you again, please don't hesitate to call on me. Thank you for the kind words; you two really did look "Perfect" that day! Take care!

We've booked David several times for our brewery and each time he has been nothing but awesome to work with! His originals are great, and his covers always keep the crowd entertained. He always makes a point to promote anything we have going on in the taproom and interacts with the crowd to keep them involved. Seriously such a nice guy - we love having him play here!
Response from David Porter:
Thank you, Kelsey! You know Sweet Union Brewing is one of my favorite places with some of my favorite people! I always look forward to being there and can't wait to get back!
After I booked David he was quick to call me to discuss particulars of my event. He asked questions and also accommodated my request for my party which one was learning a song that I wanted him to play for my wife. He was very easy to do business with. David's performance was outstanding and he also brought his playlist so we could make our own request. His YouTube videos do not do him justice. I highly recommend David for your event of any size.
Scott-Charlotte NC Area
Response from David Porter:
Scott, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wife's birthday party! It was a true pleasure getting to meet you, your family, and friends. I don't think I'll ever forget having Selena's grandmother sing with us - what a show-stopper! I appreciate your kind comments and would love to do it again in the future. Take care, and thanks again! -David
David played non stop for our evening birthday party. He was professional and took the time to get the group involved. Music selection was great and even got the adults and kids dancing. Thanks David !!!!
Response from David Porter:
Robert, thank you so much. Please let everyone know how much I enjoyed meeting them. Hope we can do it again sometime! -David
David performed at a dinner party I had in my home with about 25 people. He was so personable and a group of us happily surrounded him and sang along. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening!!
Response from David Porter:
Anat, what a pleasure to share the evening with you and your friends in your beautiful home! If I can ever be of help in the future, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again!

When you come see me, you'll see someone who thoroughly enjoys what he does and shares that with his audience. From up-tempo toe-tappers to sing-alongs to beautiful ballads, you get it all with me. I have a warm, easy-going style, enjoy interacting with the crowd, and occassionally will even invite an audience member to join me at the mic. My songlist contains over 300 numbers, so I can usually accommodate requests, as well! On the business side, I conduct myself professionally. I arrive early for a thorough set up, take short breaks, and rarely drink while I perform (unless an audience member wants to buy me a beer now and then).
Alaska-born and North Carolina-raised, I've been playing guitar, singing, and writing songs since I was 16. My performing career has taken me from Charlotte and the NC Triad, to the vibrant music scene of Austin, TX, down to the Low Country of Hilton Head Island, into talent-rich Louisville, KY, and back to the Charlotte area again. Along with my musical collaborator, Marty Miller, I have recorded three CDs of original material, "The Family Heart" in 2001, "Creature Comforts" in 2011, and "High Water Line" released in January, 2018. I performed over 135 gigs in 2019 and love what I do: singing, playing, entertaining, and making people happy!
I provide my own 700 watt sound system, including microphone, mixer, monitor, and elevated speakers, as well as some minimal stage lighting for effect when appropriate. I usually play both a six- and twelve-string acoustic/electric guitar during my shows. I require a 3-prong electrical outlet within 50' of my performance site, and a bottle of water or two is appreciated, if available. If outdoors, solid flooring is preferred, along with overhead cover, however I can provide my own pop-up 8'x8' tent if necessary.

With over 300 tunes to choose from, my sets vary based on the audience, location, and event. Typically you'll hear such tunes as "Take it Easy" (Eagles) , "Here Comes the Sun" (Beatles)," Margaritaville" (Buffet)," Carolina in my Mind" (Taylor), "Wagon Wheel" (Dylan), "Black Water" (Doobies), "Perfect" (Sheeran), and "3 a.m." (Matchbox 20), just to name a few. I will also include excellent tunes by some lesser-known artists, as well as a few original compositions. I do my best to accomodate requests, as well, by providing copies of my song list to the audience.
My performances offer songs from a wide range of artists including classic acts such as the Eagles, the Beatles, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash, to singer/songwriters like James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Dan Fogelberg, and Harry Chapin. You will also hear tunes from current artists such as Matchbox 20, Jason Isbell, O.A.R., and Ed Sheeran. I also include selections from independent artists such as The Floating Men, Paul Thorne, and my own original compositions.
Must have a 3-prong electrical outlet w/in 50' of performance location
