I am a singer-songwriter playing what is known as "Tropical Rock" music in the style of Jimmy Buffett. The music I play portrays an attitude of "toes-in-the-sand-Margarita-in-my-hand" type of subject matter and nautical themes.  Over 75 Buffett tunes and other Trop Rock songs, some with a decidedly humorous twist.

I use professional sounding backing tracks which I have created myself to provide the sound of a full band without paying for one.  If you want an authentic sounding one-man Jimmy Buffett Band I'm your guy!  Listen to my samples for examples!

Costs vary depending on the amount of travel (call about my special Tahiti rates), availability of Landshark beer, immunizations, fishing possibilities, the amount of clothing required (the less the better), distance from the stage to the water, etc.

Of course I prefer to play at large outdoor venues before thousands of adoring fans with fists full of CD money, but I play small intimate parties as well.

You will believe you are hearing Jimmy Buffett Live.

Dave MADE our Fathers Day event. He is so professional but so welcoming. We are a private golf club and our members fell in love with him! Many requested Dave’s information for private parties in the future. He is a real class act and would HIGHLY RECCOMEND him for your event! Thanks so much Dave you're AMAZING!

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 Buffet 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 provided a fun and entertaining night of caribean music.  Attendees loved the variety of songs and his enthusiastic style of performing.  Some came to listen and others came to dance, everyone had a great time.

Dave was incredible.  He engaged the crowd, took requests, sounds just like Buffet, and made our event super special.  Would book him again in a heartbeat.  

Dave did a fantastic job.  Everyone enjoyed his show and several asked "Where did you find him?  He's great".   

On-time, easy setup, friendly, entertaining, great speakers, a good voice and a good theme. All in attendance were complimentary of the show. Thank you Dave!

He did an excellent job.  Lots of compliments from the audience.  Would highly recommend him.

Dave was an awesome addition to our Margaritaville Party. He was very professional and extremely talented. We all enjoyed his music very much. We will definitely have him back for our next Jimmy Buffet style party and I would recommend to anyone who is having their own party!

He was absolutely fantastic at our outdoor wedding reception!  We have recieved a ton of compliments from guests on his performance.  We would love to have him again for another event!  Thanks! Becky Piccone
