“headline entertainer, david harvey, not only provides great musical entertainment—

He is consummate crowd-pleaser who engages his audiences with fun, humor, and great showmanship. Mr. Harvey uses the marimba to present a wide array of exciting music such as marimba compositions, classical transcriptions, jazz, pop, Hollywood, and swing-band; all presented with his vivacious personality. Audiences enjoy interaction such as comedy, sing-along, playalong, Q & A, while also witnessing unforgettably unique instrumental showmanship.

In the 1970’s & 1980’s, David Harvey received his musical education at the New England Conservatory of Music and the Berkshire Tanglewood Institute. He made his public debut in 1978 as concerto soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Since that time, he has appeared not only in concert recitals but also with orchestra, jazz ensemble, string quartet, and most notably with show-band as headline soloist of Marimba Moods™.

Mr. Harvey writes all his musical arrangements personally. He has singlehandedly created an entire repertoire of eclectic marimba music that can only be heard at a Marimba Moods™ performance, which is a one-of-a-kind experience.”

    Joe Jordan

  • Marimba Moods could coax even the most tranquil person into tapping their feet & clapping their hands! “Amazing” is the only word both my husband and I could repeat to each other between each piece.
