Don’t let the laid back name fool you, Just Dave Band is a charismatic, high energy country band that plays real country, but with rock/pop tunes that even the most casual guests can party to. With 20 years of experience playing about 60 years worth of country, rock, and pop, we’re always learning new songs to keep your crowd happy (and dancing)! Let me help you craft the perfect setup for your event, from a solo performer to a full band that rivals the Grand Old Opry. I prefer phone consults to quick quotes (because there's a lot more JDB Ent. can bring to the table than just some tunes), but trust me when I tell you "This ain't our first rodeo!"
