"Dave and I have worked together for over fifteen years, If it wasn't for him, I would have never been able to be a so called band leader. He does all the work of a tour manager and more, he comes highly recommended. He has experience dealing with back and out front house arrangement and good ears! Yours truly, John Vidavovich"
