Wedding Reception Music

Darryl is a key member of two other Houston area Dance Bands. With "The Percolators" Darryl makes the keyboard dance and the trumpet sing – sometimes at the same time! This trio of performers is available anytime fun and music is required -- banquets, parties, galas, company picnics, wedding receptions, family reunions and outdoor festivals. To date, “The Percolators” has performed at the Woodlands Pavilion, the Woodlands Conference Center and Country Club, Minute Maid Field, Vintage Park in Cypress and Market Street in The Woodlands. View a video clip here. For more information and to book "The Percolators", visit www.thepercolatorsband.com.

Darryl is also main trumpet for Houston-based "Jet Set Band" (www.jetsetband.com). This band is different from most you've heard. Inherently funky, they have a stunning command of widely varied styles. They have genuine enthusiasm for making a party come alive and provide spectacular musical entertainment for any event. Please visit the website of “Jet Set Band” to listen to some sound clips, and view a few of their performances. You’ll be glad you did!

Church Services, Holidays and Praise & Worship

During the holiday season Darryl is frequently invited as a Trumpet Soloist at churches throughout the greater Houston area and The Woodlands. The sound of his trumpet worship frequently fills the sanctuaries of some of the best-loved churches in Houston at Easter and Christmas. He is also much sought after and in high demand as a Praise and Worship horn section member. So, if you are a Houston, Tomball, Magnolia, or Woodlands area M.D. or a P&W leader looking to fatten up your sound, call Darryl! His trumpet is a weapon of Highest Praise!
