We tried something new and different tonight. At the suggestion of one of our lovely fans's and friends Rosie!, we put a list of the 250 plus songs out so people could make requests off the list. I was scared shitless!! I don't know why I just was. One, I thought people would think we were too corny, two, maybe people just didn't give a crap, three, I get set in my ways and it is hard to
change. Well it turns out that it went over pretty well. We got specific requests from about
3 tables. That is good for starters i think. I also liked it because it gives me a feel about what the audience is into hearing. I am always amazed at how wrong I am at profiling a crowd!
Too put it shortly, it was kind of Fun!!!!

A little history!
David Stevens Band
The David Stevens Band was formed in 1996 and played at the Castle Restaurant For 11 years. During that time the band shaped the songs to fit most Alaskan music Tastes.
With a song list of over 250 songs the band can cover most venues. The band now consists of David Peck on drums, vocals, programming and spokesman. Darren Gallagher plays guitar, vocals and backgrounds vocals as well as electronic setup and inventing new set ups. The band has played many places such as, The Castle, Jalepeno’s, Lower La, and other nightclubs in the Fairbanks area. Currently we are at Big Daddy’s Barbeque and been there close to two years.
We are already booking for Christmas parties this year. Last year was Osbourne contruction, Gvea, and The shriners. We have also played the International Bonspiel two years running.

Wedding Season!
The wedding season has begun. We are very happy to do weddings as long as we know ahead of time
what to expect and what songs need to be learned . I (David) have played many wedding receptions on the east coast. I was in wedding band called "Mystique" (isn't that beautiful). We did about 3 weddings per weekend, one on Friday and usually two on Saturday. In the Springfield Mass., area there are wedding halls that only host wedding receptions. One I can remember was called the "Chez Joseph". A very posh place with at least 20 rooms available for big weddings. Most of the weddings were huge with desert tables a mile long. The bands were not allowed to mingle with the guests and our meal was given to us in a back room area away from the wedding crowd. We had to dress according to the colors of the wedding with matching cumberbunds and bow ties.
Here in Fairbanks Darren and I have done weddings with not so much pressure, but we can handle what ever is put in front of us, with a song list of over 253 songs and adding weekly to that list we feel that we really are one of the few bands that can handle a casual, or extremely structured event.
Remember for Bookings call 907-488-6558
