Dano - I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU!" for the excellent job you did at the banquet. People just won't stop telling me how much fun the banquet was due to your performance. They say that Friday night was the most fun they have ever had at a Mustangs Northwest banquet! You really did a great job, and I really appreciate it. I even heard that the daughter of our club president said that she wants you for her wedding! Thanks again, Dano. You really made our banquet. Thanks for a truely entertaining and quality performance. Ron (Woodinville, Wa.)

Dano had an EXTREMELY tough crowd to win over (a group of teachers three days before the last day of school!) He adjusted to the situation, was very engaging, interactive and accommodating.

If you have gold stars to hand out for a show, give Elvis by Dano & a bit a Johnny Cash the whole box!!!!! He blew us away, and was very personable, and has great ad-lib between the songs. This was a great show, and my Mom loved the Johnny Cash songs, and Dano did make a great Johnny Cash. When he was nearly done, he transformed into Elvis and finished up with Elvis songs. What a neat idea and a great show. For Johnny Cash or Elvis, you can't go wrong with this guy. I was very pleased and so were the other folks at this event. Surely an asset to Gigmasters, and worth hiring for your events. Thanks Dano, you were tops!!!!!!!!!

Elvis by Dano was more than we could've expected when we first started looking for an "Elvis" for our Las Vegas-themed party. We were pleasantly surprised by his follow-up...he was the only one of three performers who called us after we submitted a bid, and he was so friendly and easy-going that he immediately made a good impression. It was an easy decision to choose him as our performer. We were all thrilled with his performance at our party. We had 400 people and our space is almost 5000 square feet, yet he worked the room and made everyone feel included. His voice is beautiful and his song selection was terrific. I would highly recommend Elvis by Dano to anyone!

Elvis by Dano was hired for my client's 53rd birthday party and he was a huge success. The entire room was singing, dancing and clapping along with the music. After his performance Elvis by Dano stayed around for pictures and conversations. It was great! He was very dependable and kept in contact the week prior to our party. I would consider hiring Elvis by Dano for future events.

I hired Elvis by Dano for a surprise 50th birthday party for my little sister. Not only was the party on Thanksgiving weekend, it hit during 'flu' season which caused a large number of last minute cancellations. I was extremely concerned about the group of people who did show up, they just seemed 'blah'. The minute 'Elvis' started, the party totally 'rocked' & was a complete success. My father told me later after the party "I didn't think your 'Elvis' would pull it off, boy was I surprised. He not only is a good 'Elvis', he is a great showman and worked the crowd perfectly". Believe me, coming from MY dad, that is quite the compliment! DANO WAS A PERFECT CHOICE !

DANO was everything we hoped for and more he worked magic with the crowd giving a high energy performance with a lot of extra attention given to make a truly wonderful experience. He is a grand and gracious performer. If you want a fun evening and and a truly professional performance Dano if the one that can do it for you. Elvis was alive and shaking up the house with ladies swooning all around the room. President NW Chapter Game wardens of Vietnam

Grace B,

What an Outstanding performer! We hired Elvis (Dano) for my husband's 70 birthday party. Family, staff at Sully's Cafe and friends are still talking about the fantastic party. Energetic, entertaining and the love of Elvis filled the room. We had a group ranging in age of 7 years - 70. Dano took the time to make sure that each person was involved in the performance. He had us dancing, clapping and singing. He sang special songs to the girls. He really did an outstanding job. Our granddaughters are still talking about the night Elvis had dinner with the family. From the booking, contacting and arranging the "big day", he was professional and accommodating. He was an 'AWESOME' performer. It is difficult to hire a performer, but we really got our money when he hired Dano. If you want an Elvis impersonator, hire DANO, you will not regret your choice. We would definitely have him back to perform for us. Thanks Dano for that special performance.

Debra B.

What a party! We hired Elvis (aka Dano) for our annual Halloween party at Sunrise Assisted Living of Bellevue. He was AMAZING! From the initial booking to the actual performance, he was top notch all the way. He arrived early, took precautions for the seniors, set up, performed and cleaned up in a timely process. He had all the seniors up dancing and singing and really engaged each person. He was a bit loud for some of the older folks but his sound is great and everyone had a great time!! I feel bad because I get all the credit for the great party but it was because of Dano that the day was so perfect! Highly recommended!

Dano was great. My daughter wants to have another party so we can have him back. We got more than our moneys worth. He sings better in person and looks better in person . He is a great ntertainer and ,of course, he sings great. We all loved him.

Nancy W.

Dano was absolutely wonderful!! This was a 40th surprise birthday party for our daughter and Boy was she surprised. She has always loved "Elvis" and boy oh boy...she got him!!! Everyone was singing and tapping their toes. The young girls really got into the act and were screaming and dancing....they now want "Elvis" for their parties!!! Dano made everyone feel like they were part of his act, he included everyone!!! We can't say enough about him. The party got started a little late and he was gracious enough to adjust his time to ours. We would have him again in a heart beat!!!

Jon W.

Wow! You're never really sure what's going to happen when you hire an entertainer sight unseen, but Dano surpassed all of our expectations. He showed up early, knew his stuff, played right into the audience, and sounded wonderful. Our wedding was a small 40 person outdoor affair and Dano really made the evening memorable. Triple talent for the money. Thanks, Dano!

Jill C.

Dano was very accommodating to my requests of how to set up and he did a great job of doing it in a way that it remained a surprise until he was announced to perform. He made the day very special for my Mom's surprise birthday party, and encouraged the guests to interact with him. He was a pleasure to do business with and we all enjoyed his show.

Dorthy T.

Dan was extremely accommodating for our charity event. He performed for our charity event at a price we could not match any where else - and the fact that he had to take two days travel time - spoke volumes for his character. He was great fun and the crowd really enjoyed him. He joined in our fun and a good time was had by all.

John Kirsch

I have a die hard Elvis friend that we had a birthday party for, I decided to add to the excitement by hiring ELVIS By Dano. What a great entertainer! He made my friends party so special for her. I booked him for an hour but he didn't leave till every request was done. My favorite was getting everybody motivated to TRY to sing and dance! I'd book him again.

2006/02/11

Roseann M.

He was great - he accommodated several requests for us both before and during the event and everyone thought he was great!

Ryan Moss

He was AMAZING! Very accommodating, was energetic and exciting, and really got a younger crowd (College-age) to appreciate an icon that is rarely acknowledged by their generation. He had couples dancing at the front of the stage, and was a perfect complement to our Vegas-themed event. Also a very genuine, all-around nice guy, donated his time, energy and gas to the event! Would HIGHLY recommend him to others!!

Paul Youmans

Five days later and staff is still talking about what a great time they had. I haven't laughed so hard in ages at how much fun everyone was having - it was the best event! Dano was very helpful, professional, and delivered a lively performance. He's number 1 in my book.

Joan Rapose

Hi Dano! Thank you so much for making our party such a success! EVERYBODY LOVED IT!! You were so personable, and friendly, and made everyone feel at ease, and part of the fun, including the kids, who, to all of our suprise, loved you. (It's nice to see that the younger generation has such good taste in music!) Yes, we would really like to hear if you will be appearing where we could see your act again. You really have Elvis down.....all the moves, the music, and I think you look somewhat like him too. That's why I was afraid to have you join us at the table during dinner, because I just knew if they had a good look at you, they would figure it out. Well the night came off without a hitch, and everyone said it was the best party they had ever attended. It was nice to finally meet you after all the months of e-mails. I think of you as a friend. Again, many thanks for all you did to make our anniversary so wonderful. Joan and Toby.

Wayne Rankin

Dan was so willing to help us at the Retirement party before, during and after. He came during the meal and got to know the people and the family and worked with the sons to make a special tribute to their dad and all those who have served in the military when he did the American Trilogy. It was a tear jerker. Dan gave his all to the crowd. I wished he could have sang all night. He stayed for pictures and was part of the celebration. He tried hard to make it a special night for all. Thank you Dan!

Jerry Dietzen

My wife's birthday party was the best ever! Dano was awesome and very personable. She's still thanking me for inviting him and what a talented and friendly guy he is. Since this was a surprise party for her, we needed to do lots of behind the scenes planning with Dano. He worked with us on every phase. My son Ben, who is senior music student at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, did all the sound setup ahead of time. Dano went right with it and did all the final sound checks without any of the professional pettiness that can often grow out of such a situation. Dano even stayed around after his gig and mixed with the crowd ! What a trouper. I'd hire him again. He is Elvis.

Emily McCavanagh

Dan is a true performer. He is committed to honoring the legacy of Elvis and that same dedication shines through in his performances on stage. He was dedicated to our companies objective and helped keep people entertained and engaged in our event.

2005/05/26

David Godwin

Dano, Thank you very much for your help in making this party special. Even this morning everybody is still talking about "Elvis" at the party. You did a great job of interacting with everybody in the group. I will pass along some good feedback regarding you and your performance to gigmasters. Once again thank you and good luck.

2005/05/16

Linda Stadig

Dano was a huge success at our event. We had well over 450 guests attending our event at the Museum of Flight. Dano was limited to 30 minutes due to a tight schedule/program, but in those 30 minutes he had everyone up and dancing at their tables. Thank you Dano and best of luck in your future gigs--you're the greatest.

Madelyn Gault

Being a senior old lady for some years I must admit that, though I knew who Elvis was, I made a point of not listening to his songs because I felt that I could not relate to him or to his music. Much to my surprise, I found how much I loved his voice, his music and his message several months ago when attending a party for very special friends. The hit of the evening was Dano, an Elvis impersonator. Some of his songs brought me to needing tissues for the tears that overcame me when he sang beautiful love songs. Gone forever was my distain of a man who sang to the masses and touched so many. Now, I am finally an Elvis fan because of Dano. My progeny are pleased with their Mom (for a change). Thank you Dano.

Dee Ann K.

I have had the opportunity to see ELVIS By Dano perform on several occasions and would highly recommend his act as an Elvis impersonator. "DANO" is very talented and has put in a great deal of time and effort in researching the moves and style of Elvis. He is very professional and gives it his all when performing. "Elvis by Dano" is a great tribute to the King of Rock and Roll, and is great entertainment for all ages. Long live the King! --Dee Ann Koehnke

Shirley Eshbaugh

I had heard that Dano was a very good Elvis impersonator, but until I actually saw him in person, I had no idea how good he really was. Several of us were at a party when he entertained the group, and all of us were very impressed. He is the best I've seen.

2005/03/17

Kathleen Raycamp

ELVIS By Dano has a great voice, but the really impressive thing about his performances is the rapport he has with his audiences. Groupies surround him, some older women, but mostly preteen girls. It's awesome to see these kids enjoying the fun and excitement of the Elvis era. Dano has that same sincere persona that Elvis exhibited. I especially like his ballads, so pure and true

2005/03/14

Anita Dwight

I would like to highly recommend ELVIS By Dano. Dano puts on a very professional show with a lot of gusto and just pure fun! I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Amber Ogle

Hi there, I just had to write to you to tell you that my friends and I came to watch the Elvis show and you where awesome! You were the talk of the night and we are planning on seeing you again! Can you PLEASE tell me when you are performing again! We have all bragged so much about your performance we now have a whole boat full of people that wants to see what the fuss is about!

Dave Caton

I have seen Dano's act several times and he is seriously a great impersonator with great backup music and a wonderful voice. I recommend him highly.

2005/03/01

Shelly E. S.

Dano is a GREAT Elvis impersonator! He sounds so much like Elvis I would think he was Elvis reincarnated if it weren't for the fact that Dano was already alive when Elvis "died."

Chelese Longwith

"We had so much fun on our last girls night out thanks to the great show Elvis (Dano) put on for us! He is great at playing to the audience, and getting everyone involved in the act. The fun that he is having onstage is contagious to everyone else in the room."

2005/02/28

Christine Davidson

I've watched Dano and strongly encourage his future as "Elvis". I have seen him perform and cheered him a long with dozens of others who were encouraged by his performance. Dan is the man.

Jody Stevenson

My co-workers hired Dano as an office surprise for my 30th birthday. His passion for Elvis music made for a fun show and a very memorable and special birthday.

Mary B. Frances

Dano put on a great performance. He was full of energy and he made sure everyone in the audience was having just as much fun as he was having. By far the best Elvis impersonator I have ever seen!
