"Dave performed for my intimate(12 people) birthday party; we sang, danced, then enjoyed Dave in the background during dinner. Dave was talented, fun and attuned to our needs at my event. All the music was happy and fitting for the occasion. Loved the talking parrot"!

"I booked Dave Calhoun for my husband's 40th birthday party. Not only was he on-time, prepared and professional, but he MADE the party. Dave is such a talented and warm individual. All my guests wanted to know where I found him. He's by-far the best entertainer I've ever hired and I'd bring him back again and again. A+++".
Julie Treves Clyde Hill, WA 9/13/09

"Dear Dave, Thank you for helping make the return of the Seattle Boat Show at Shilshole Bay Marina such a success. Our attendance was over 7,200 people which is a 3.5% increase from the last time we were at Shilshole in 2004. Many exhibitors have also reported that their sales were as good or better than in 2004.
The VIP Preview Night was a huge success and a lot of fun. In three hours 728 salmon dinners and nearly 1300 drinks were served. This was a new event for us and I truly appreciate everyone's flexibility and determinations to make the VIP Preview Night excellent.
Putting on the Boat Show is a team effort and, on behalf of all of us at the NMTA, I would like to thank you for being part of our team".

"Hi Dave, I recently was introduced to your music. Sorry it took so long. I absolutely love it! I live on a floating home just down river from Island Cafe and will be sure to be there to see you in person Saturday Aug 29th. I own a little drive thru coffee kiosk on the island, at the Eco car wash across from Safeway. I have outside speakers and play your cd all day long. Many people ask who that is, as they know it isn' t Jimmy, but sounds very similiar. If you get a chance when you get to the island, stop by and I will buy ya a cup of coffee. Looking foward to seeing/hearing you at the Island Cafe. And I will be needing to buy your new cd as Love Dot Palm will be worn out soon I am sure. :-)"

"Absolutely phenomenal evening. Dave Calhoun was perfect. His sound is so authentic, some people had to do a double-take to see if it really was Jimmy Buffett in our backyard. He was very accommodating and could go as soft or as loud as we wished. He played all our requests, looked as if he was having a good time as well. He put the crowd at ease and even pleased the neighbors who weren't even invited to the party. Aside from the professionalism and fabulous sound, he also is just a great guy".

"Dave absolutely made our night. We had a wonderful time; he warmed the crowd right away and even gave two birthday wishes. Not only would we strongly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a tropical band; we'd recommend Dave to anyone looking for any band. Dave is: genuine, warm, kind and very funny. We enjoyed every second of his performance and our only recommendation is: Brother you should charge more; we totally would have paid it! What a great night; thanks to Dave"! -Team Rainier Connect

"Dave was wonderful! He interacted with our party so well, his music fit the theme and he was terrific to work with. I would hire him again without any hesitation, his talent is top notch. He even emailed me photos after the event. He helped to make our event a success! Thank you"! Megan Loctor on behalf of everyone at Sunstream Boat Lifts

"It was a pleasure to have Dave perform at our Hawaiian Luau. His music was upbeat and fit the occasion. We hope to have him back again".
-Kathy V, 8/15/2008, Festival, Dupont, WA

"We hosted a Hawaiian Holiday party and Dave’s music was an excellent complement to our theme! We will be sponsoring a summer event this year and are already considering Dave as our entertainment for that event as well. Mahalo, Dave"!
-Trisha B, 12/21/2007, Corporate Function, Everett, WA

"Dave, Love the new CD!!! Thanks so much for the copy. My wife, who can be very critical of music said, "that's a very happy fun CD"! I totally agree. I burned it on my iPod and will start playing it between sets at my shows. I've listened to it twice all the way around. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I'll be stuck in the car so I'll get a few more spins".
Gary Seiler- Singer/Songwriter/Perfomer, San Diego,CA

"Dave, just listened to your new CD for the first time. GREAT JOB! What a fun album.....love the cover too. Hope this sells well for you. Mine went out to you Friday, should arrive soon. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for yours Dave"!
