“If you close your eyes, you'll swear you hear Johnny Cash!
I saw David perform at a public event in Castle Rock and was mesmerized by his voice. He doesn't just sing the songs; he tells the story behind them, especially the Johnny Cash songs since he is also a Johnny Cash tribute artist. He has the best country voice I have ever heard. I thought he might be traveling through so I asked if he lived in Nashville and was very surprised to hear he was local!
I decided to book him for a private party at my house, and all my guests were extremely impressed. Most of the time at our parties, the musicians are just background noise, but having David there was like having a private concert, which only enriched our party even more.
Someone this good needs to be on a bigger stage.
Book him while you can. If someone in Nashville discovers his talent, he won't be available much longer.”
