I am an instrumental guitarist (no vocals) with 2 CDs, "A Simple Christmas", and "David Waldon Picks on The Beatles" that you can hear on Spotify, etc.
I provide peaceful background music for your customers/guests as they enjoy their meals or gatherings. Highly experienced, I have played at many restaurants, over 100 weddings, and many private parties. Your patrons will love the ambiance my music creates.
Please take a moment to listen to my CD and determine if you think this will add to your guests' overall experience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Background instrumentalist adding peaceful and beautiful ambiance to your event. I have a 4 hour list of non-Christmas songs, and a 1 hour list of Christmas Carols that I can play more than once if desired, or intersperse with soft rock love songs from the 50's on up.
Studied Classical guitar at UNT. Was bandleader/guitarist/bass/keys for Country artist Shelley Laine, helping her achieve 6 top 40 songs. I've played many private parties, Christmas events, wedding rehearsal dinners and weddings, restaurants and corporate events, playing my gentle, peaceful and romantic background music.
A grounded plug and a spot to sit. Will bring my own sound (AER Model 60). and can get loud if needed, but very hi-fi and sweet sounding. I usually aim for enough volume to be heard but conversations are still possible. I have a balanced output if you need me to tie into a PA at a larger event. Taylor AD24ce mahogany top guitar, very warm and balanced, sounds gorgeous!
