Please Note:

For events within 30 miles of Melbourne, FL, Dave charges $75 for one hour of playing time, $100 for two hours, and $150 for 3 hours. Discounts are available for weekly or monthly gigs. Dave takes a 10 minute break every hour, and can provide "break music" if you wish. See below for possible additional charges and other policies:

1. Unless agreed to otherwise, all engagements require a 50% deposit at the time of booking, and the balance due is to be paid immediately upon completion of the engagement. Payment may be made by cash, check, Venmo, PayPal or a credit card.

2. Since in many cases Dave has declined other offers for the date(s) of your booking, the 50% deposit is non-refundable (except in the case of "acts of God" emergencies). Please notify Dave as soon as you know you are cancelling your booking.

3. Dave requires a 4' x 6' area (no stage necessary) in the same room as his audience, with one electrical socket nearby. For outdoor events, Dave prefers some kind of roof or canopy overhead, with no mosquitos or wild animals present. Clients are encouraged to have an alternate indoor location arranged nearby in case of extreme weather.

4. Once Dave has set up his equipment, full payment is required even if you cancel the gig.

5. Extra charges may be incurred if: a) equipment has to be moved to a second location during the gig; b) requested songs have to be learned; c) extra playing time is requested; d) equipment has to be carried up and down stairs, onto boats, or over rough terrain.
