About Dave
Live Music For The Moment
Windsor & Essex County’s One-Man Band for Hire
Hi, I’m Dave Wilson — soulful singer, heartstring-plucker, and semi-retired frog catcher.
Whether you’re getting ready to say “I Do,” honouring the life of a loved one, or gathering the gang for a good old-fashioned garden party, I’m here to bring the perfect live soundtrack to the moment you share with the people who matter to you. Think of me as your personal live band for hire — minus the ego, plus a healthy dose of whimsy, wonder, and the right chord at just the right time.
And yes, I do take requests.
“I have come to find that live performance scratches an itch that no playlist has managed to reach. ”

Live Music: Personal, Soulful, and Unscripted
Whether it’s a wedding, funeral or memorial, reunion, or cozy living-room shindig, I craft every set with intention, soul, and a bit of cheek. No backing tracks, no iPad, no pretense – just me, my guitar…and if the moment calls for it, a mouth trumpet solo.
Raised on the edge of a tiny farm town by the shores of Lake Erie, I spent my childhood doing what any other boy would do: chasing and catching frogs around the pond, firing pucks at the garage door, and impersonating cartoon characters for an audience of zero. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a guitar – and never really put it down.
Now, I bring that same playful heart and soul to every stage, backyard, or reception hall I play. My goals are simple: to meet my audience wherever they may croak, to leave a mark and memories built to last, and to give it all I've got – no matter who is listening.
