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.
