Daniel Ondaro — Denver Singing Guitarist
A one-man live show built on 1,034 songs — classic rock, folk, country, soul, jazz standards and Latin — played for living rooms, rooftops, ballrooms and cruise ships. A professional musician since 2007 — nearly 20 years — and a featured cruise-ship performer since 2016, from Carnival to Royal Caribbean. Based in Denver, Colorado.
Watch Daniel Live
Two minutes of the actual show: one man, one guitar, a room full of people singing along. That's what you book.
Book Daniel For
Whatever the room, the format is the same: one musician who shows up with everything he needs, reads the crowd, and takes requests on the spot.
• Venues, bars & rooftops — full evenings of covers and originals that keep people in their seats and at the bar.
• Hotels & resorts — polished background sets for lobbies, brunches and poolside hours, at a volume people can talk over.
• Restaurants — warm, familiar songs for dinner service; mellow early, livelier as the night goes on.
• Weddings — ceremony music, cocktail hour and receptions, including the songs that matter to you, learned for the day.
• Corporate events — professional, punctual, low-maintenance entertainment for receptions, holiday parties and client events.
• Private parties — birthdays, anniversaries and house concerts, built around the guest of honor's favorites.
• Senior living — the Sinatra-and-standards sets residents actually grew up with, played by someone who enjoys being there.
1,034 Songs. Your Requests Included.
Daniel's regular repertoire runs to 1,034 songs — the Beatles and Van Morrison to John Mayer and Ed Sheeran, Johnny Cash to Jobim. He sings in English and Portuguese — including a deep Brazilian songbook — bossa nova and samba he fell for before ever setting foot in Brazil, the music that inspired his 2008 study-abroad summer there and years of Brazilian guitar lessons and playing in Boulder's Brazilian bands — with Spanish-language favorites like Bésame Mucho and Guantanamera in the mix, and he builds a personalized setlist for every booking: tell him the occasion and a few favorites, and he'll shape the night around them. On the night itself, requests from the room are welcome — that's the show.
