Federico & the Breeze

FOLK | AMERICANA | ROOTS | SINGER-SONGWRITER

Federico and the Breeze is a folk, americana, and roots band that performs original material, along with songs by legendary artists, such as Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, John Mellencamp, JJ Cale, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and more.

As a self-proclaimed tunesmith, Federico first builds songs with poignant lyrics, accompanied by his trusty acoustic guitar. Once the melody is settled, he then turns to fellow bandmate Matthew Kloosterman to add subtle, yet impactful harmonies on the electric guitar. Afterwards, award-winning percussionist Fabio Pirozzolo is called in to create emphatic rhythms with the cajon. Together, Federico and the Breeze has a beautiful and full sound, performing their traditional genres, but with a creative groove and lots of acoustic finger-picking.

Federico’s first album, Waiting for a Friend was released in 2008 and charted well on the americana and roots playlists. He is available for various types of events, festivals, and more.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Dan and his band were phenomenal! Dan played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and was joined by his band for our reception. Our guests loved his laid back vibe for the acoustic music and danced up a storm to the party music. The music selections were great. Dan was easy to work with and happy to learn our special songs. Two months later, we are still getting compliments on our music! We [also] appreciated that Dan came early to learn the space. Our reception was in a big old barn and it could have been tempting to play really loud, but he and the band got the balance just right. We could party and people could still have conversations at the bar without yelling. We would hire Dan again in a second and highly recommend him and the band for any event! We are so glad we live in the area and can see Dan play again soon!”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Our non-profit, Stay Work Play NH, was looking for musical entertainment for our signature annual event, the Rising Stars Awards. In looking for a style that would be appropriate and suit the variety of our hundreds of guests, I came across Dan Walker through a Google search. I listened to a few of his tracks and knew this was an artist I wanted to work with! Our pre-event communications were great. He knew exactly what I needed for promotional material. The evening of the event, Dan arrived early, had a professional set-up and was ready for guests when the doors opened. Although I was running the room during the event, I found myself moving to the music as I was making my way around, greeting and speaking to guests. HIGHLY recommend him for corporate events!”

– Beth 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Dan and his band were the perfect choice for our wedding. They’re great musicians with their own style and sound, pulling from an extensive and varied catalog. We had many comments from guests about how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. From the time we booked until the day of the wedding, Dan was professional, responsive, and offered advice on stage, power, songs, timing, and many other details we had to cover in advance of the big day. We couldn’t have been more pleased that we chose Dan Walker and his band. They were the perfect fit.”

– JC 

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We booked The Dan Walker Band to perform during our wedding ceremony and reception. We did not have your typical, traditional wedding ceremony and wanted to personalize every single aspect of it. Dan sang and played his guitar to a few of our favorite songs by The Beatles and Warren Haynes (to name a few) while our guests were being seated. I walked down the aisle to him singing “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis. It was really amazing! The reception was just as entertaining! These guys are very talented and I would recommend them to anyone.”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Brittany is a multi-talented musical professional. She was very accommodating, personable, and an awesome person overall. At the 12th hour, my client (bride & groom) decided to add a classical touch to their ceremony, hence we elected to add a violinist. We made the perfect choice by hiring Brittany. The bride and groom are from a multicultural background, hence they wanted to incorporate said, as well as bring in a pianist and a small choir (perfect strangers to Brit) to accompany her. Though time did not permit them to rehearse prior, Brit was able to execute her craft without fail and [with] utter perfection and finesse! Thank you Lady Brit for going above and beyond. A job well done! Much appreciated!”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“I am so happy we hired Brittany Stockwell to play at our wedding ceremony! Many of our guests commented on how wonderful it was to have a violin playing during our ceremony and how beautifully she played!!! It was very romantic!!! Brittany is THE BEST!!!! Very talented, professional, and helpful with musical selections, providing a CD with a list of songs that we could listen to. She also helped us to select each song, which turned out great. The songs played by her will always be in my memory and every time I listen to them it will bring back the beautiful time we had at our wedding. I super recommend her. She is perfect!!!! Thank you Brittany for making our special day even more special!!”

– Janaina S.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“My event was a simple romantic gesture. On our 1st year wedding anniversary, I wanted to treat my wife to her three favorite songs on violin. I sent a request for a violinist and Brittany was the first to respond. I asked a lot from her. She had to learn 3 new songs that do not have much violin. So, she learned the vocal parts on violin and nailed it. I changed locations on her and she accommodated without hesitation. I asked for her to send me a recording and she sent a video of her performing the songs within the same day. She played right on 114 in Salem and wasn’t remotely distracted by the loud traffic passing by. Amazing!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”

“My husband and I love Brittany! She performed at our wedding and did an amazing job serenading me down the aisle. She was very professional and easy to work with. We met her while she was performing at Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA and picked up one of her sample recordings. As I was planning my wedding, I would listen to it all the time! So glad she was part of our special day!”

“I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Brittany. She was so sweet and easy to work with and unbelievably talented.
