Excellent!

We are so glad we hired Dan Walker Music to play at our wedding! Dan played guitar and sang at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and his whole band played at our reception. Our guests kept telling us, and we agree, that Dan has the voice of an angel. The whole band is extremely talented and they knocked it out of the park learning our first dance song. Dan also was a super MC for our reception. He is very pleasant to work with and flexible. We 100% recommend Dan Walker Music!

Wedding Party

My wife and I didn’t have a super traditional wedding and wanted to avoid the formal sit-down dinner, so we went for a more relaxed cocktail party. We wanted our guests to walk around, grab food and drinks, and mingle, and we thought live music would really complete the vibe. However, I was initially nervous about finding the right balance with live music—I worried it might be too loud or disrupt conversation, as we were aiming for a relaxed atmosphere. I hadn't heard Dan live, but his song list and online samples were impressive, and when I reached out, he assured me he’d provide the perfect background music. I decided to give it a go—and I’m so glad I did.

Dan absolutely nailed it. He was incredibly professional, managing the volume perfectly so it added to the atmosphere without overpowering it. He effortlessly set the mood with every song, creating exactly the vibe I had envisioned. Dan exceeded all expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better performance. Whatever we were looking for, I have no doubt Dan could have delivered—he’s genuinely talented at what he does. Highly recommend!

Amazing Wedding Band

Dan and his band were the highlight of the evening. Dan was very responsive during the planning phase and he incorporated all of our favorites into the evening. They are all super talented and were even able to accommodate an on the spot song request. I can’t recommend them enough!

Don’t Think Twice. Book the Dan Walker Band!

Wow! The Dan Walker Band rocks! They worked with in our schedule and budget, learned songs that we requested (and played them to perfection), showed up on time, kept the vibes up and brought the house down!!

They truly made our wedding special and played sets that were tailor made for us and our guests. The night was a success thanks to Dan and his band. They even stayed to play an extra hour as a last minute request. The Dan Walker Band is top notch.

Great group for any occasion!

Dan and crew were an absolutely terrific addition for my 50th birthday party! He was polite, responsive, and played a little bit of everything that kept the party going and the crowd dancing. We couldn't have been happier that we hired him and would definitely recommend that others consider doing the same!

Created a Perfect Atmosphere!

Dan and his band provided the warm, folk energy and vibes I was looking for during cocktail hour and the serene and romantic music I wanted for the ceremony. Everything was beautiful and perfect! I love how they played the vocals for Paper Kites when I entered the cocktail reception (the same song I walked down the aisle to except with instrumentals), it was very lovely and meaningful. And the transition from ceremony to reception went amazingly. Everyone had such an excellent time. Many thanks!!

We love Dan's musical styling, versatility, and his quiet, winning personality. Dan can do anything from a solo act all the way to a multiple piece group. In addition to recommending Dan to our couples for weddings, we've had him perform at several private functions and he always exceeds our expectations! If your musical tastes run toward Martin Sexton, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Dave Matthews, Dan's your guy!
