Mr.
David Booker is available to entertain at your wedding, corporate
event or other special occasion. General policies are explained below.
Each event is unique, designed for the individual client. Rates vary
according to format (solo, duo, trio or band), length of engagement
and distance traveled. For instance, because of travel time and extra expenses, mountain events would cost alittle more.
Our four-piece band is the most popular act, but we're flexible and
can give you a solo, duo or trio for more intimate occasions and to
accommodate your budget. We can add more band members, such as horn
players, for larger events.
From our vast repertoire of tunes, we can play a variety of musical
types and moods in a single event. For example, we can start with
soft, background cocktail music of jazzy instrumentals, later bringing
up the energy level with dance tunes.

Some Testimonitals - |
Dear David,
I just wanted to thank you for your talented musical performance at the Welcome Reception for the 10th International Conference for Fire Service Women held at the Denver Firefighters Museum.
The comments I received on the evening showed that this was one of the highlights of the week and a great deal of credit goes to you. I wish I could pass on the great enjoyment we received from your music. It was a perfect background to the dinner portion of the evening and quite spirited and fun later on.
Sincerely,
Debra Thorson

Dear Mr. David Booker,
Just a quick not to thank you for bringing your quality musicianship and fabulous presence to our 2003 Sounds of Summer Concert Series. As you know, our services was a musical walk through the last 100 years in celebration of Englewood's 100th Birthday as a city. I couldn't have found a better band than Mr. David Booker and the Swingtet to help us dance the night away to 1950's rock and roll. Your knowledge of the era and the immense talent of your band really brought the era to life for the grateful audience here in Englewood.
Sincerely,
Amy Doe-Torres
