Prepared around your celebration
Your priorities, guest mix, venue, and timeline shape the plan before the first song.
Dave Francis is an accomplished performer, arranger, composer, and teacher with extensive experience performing at weddings and private events. As one of Missoula’s sought-after guitar instructors, he spends his days helping musicians understand melody, rhythm, harmony, and the details that make a performance connect.
Dave also arranges popular music for publication, breaking songs down to their essential elements and rebuilding them for a single instrument. That skill makes him especially comfortable creating customized ceremony and cocktail-hour playlists, including thoughtful arrangements of songs that may not already exist in an acoustic format.
For Dave, the best part of a wedding is using music and careful planning to bring the moment together. He values the opportunity to share in celebrations that are personal, intimate, and meaningful.
