Meet Your Disc Jockey

Dave Cannon                                                                                 DJ since 1986

"Dave you were excellent!! You went above and beyond for us!! Thank you so much!"

"I was worried about hiring a DJ because so often they are a little over powering or obnoxious. Dave was perfect, he was professional, has a great voice and not an ounce of tacky. Not to leave out.... the sound system was amazing. Fantastic Job!!!"

     Dave's passion for music and being a disc jockey has strongly grown over 24 years. First taking it up as a hobby while in The Air Force. He quickly fell in love with entertaining fellow servicemen and servicewomen. The on base NCO and Officer's Clubs are where you found Dave spinning the most. While in The Air Force Dave went to school for communications and to school for broadcasting to be an on-air personality. After his four year commitment to the military Dave quickly found himself on the radio airwaves. It didn't take Dave long to miss performing in front of a "live crowd". He quickly began to market his talents as a mobile entertainer. Finding himself entertaining in front of large crowds along side of MTV's Daytona Beach Spring Break in the early 90's. Dave was the spokesman and emcee for companies such as Tropicana, Hawaiian Tropic, Pepsi and The Marriott. Both his personality and ability to perform in front of a large crowd grew. "Wow, those days were a rush!"

     Dave's love for weddings and private parties seemed to come pretty easy. "There was always something about the more intimate side of the mobile business. The ability to share two lives coming together to make one just puts a smile on my face". With Dave's professionalism and personal touch to detail he's one of the most sought after entertainers in The Upstate NY Region. " I believe going that extra step, I can't help it it's something I'm very passionate about." Personally averaging over 50 weddings a year and another few dozen private events Dave makes a living on what he enjoys thoroughly. "The ending result from each event is playing that last song and having the audience cheering me on for one more song, That's exciting!!"

     You'll find Dave in the Winter's hibernating months for weddings where all the action is, in Killington Vermont. Playing in front of crowds from New York, New Jersey and Boston mostly. All looking for that weekend getaway in "snow heaven". "Being a dj for a live entertainment venue such as The Pickle Barrel for over a decade has really been a treat." Working with some great artists such as Blues Traveler, Edwin McCain, Jason Mraz, Brett Michaels, Snoop Dogg, Seether, Trapt, Gin Blossoms, Rusted Root, Wailers, Tesla, Marshal Tucker Band, Everclear....and the list goes on. "It definitely spices my winter up to see who's next on the calendar to work with". The ability to play around such a wide range of musical entertainers has helped Dave's eclectic tastes in music grow. Having to format his night around that particular artist's genre and crowd shows a great amount of flexibility. When seeking Dave as your disc jockey for your special occasion. Just knowing the professionalism, promptness and flexibility makes your choice that much easier knowing your event's entertainment is in good hands.
