Reviews:
‘Before Daniel Gervais’ concert even got started, we had a problem: how to find enough seats for the standing room only crowd! - Bob Park, Oliver Daily News
‘Daniel’s ability as a musician is extraordinary’ - Ian G Porteous, Stories of Canada Educational Services
‘As an entertainment agent, I am called upon to make artist selections for a wide array of clients, from small offices to major corporations, festivals and fairs. In the artists that I select I look for people who are talented, of course. But they also need to have other qualities, among them adaptability, resourcefulness, energy, and creativity.Daniel has all of those qualities and then some. He embraces life with a sense of “joie de vivre” that is not often seen these days. He truly loves to perform and we get wonderful comments from clients’ - Margie Zahn – Entertainment Agent Mitchell Entertainment
