Words can’t express what an AMAZING band and ever better humans He Said She Said is. They played at our wedding on 9/24/21 and our guests are still raving about them. From our very first phone consult with Dalila we knew we made the right decision in inviting them to be part of our big day. They handled everything from providing the sound equipment at our ceremony, to music during cocktail hour and of course absolutely rocking the reception. They were so professional and made everything stress free. Nothing we asked of them was too much. I would highly recommend He Said She Said for your next event or wedding!Jillian B.
He Said She Said performed at my wedding Sept 2021 in Rhode Island and they absolutely crushed it!! Dalila and crew are super professional, detail-oriented, thoughtful, and talented musicians! We had multiple calls and consultations prior to the big day and Dalila made sure to confirm everything, down to little details and specific event timing. They showed up to the venue super early to make sure everything was set up perfectly and to do all the sound and lighting checks. HSSS sounded incredible on the day of and brought the ENERGY!!! They absolutely made our wedding reception with their light up glasses and upbeat song choices. Guests were up and dancing, having a blast! They even learned a couple semi-complicated songs we requested and nailed those too! Highly recommend He Said She Said for any party, celebration or wedding you have coming up! They will exceed your expectations.Keri C.
My wife and I talk about He Said She Said all the time. We hired them to perform at our wedding and could not have been more pleased with their cordial and professional performance! We have seen them multiple times at bars and know they are adaptive to the crowds they are performing at! Our wedding guests kept telling us they have never been to a wedding that was so fun! Dalila and Dave being the lead vocals went out of their way to MC the night, ensure names were pronounced correctly, and kept the festivities rocking all night. The rest of the band mates were skilled and lively as well! Just want to say thank you again, and we will see them again rocking at some local bars!Kevin S. - North Kingston, RI
Can’t thank you all enough for rocking the house at our high school reunion Friday night! You will definitely be hearing from this crew again for our next one, if not sooner!!! Best dance band!!!Leslie P. - Dedham, MA

In his teen years, he played first trumpet in concert band and helped win a national competition in Washington, D.C. After focusing on academics and graduating college, a old high school friend asked if he would like to take a shot at singing lead in a cover band, Copper Jack, playing in Southeastern Massachusetts throughout 2012. After Copper Jack disbanded in 2013, Dave along with former Copper Jack members Adam Letourneau and Michael Raucci, began working on a new project and thus began He Said She Said. Dave says, “This band has so much talent, it’s sick! Not to mention that I’ve met a bunch of new friends and great people!”. He is also the only member of He Said She Said that will openly admit that he enjoys the band Nickelback.

Phil Cahners
BASS & VOCALS
Phil is a life long musician who began his musical journey by borrowing his parent’s records late at night and playing them on his Mickey Mouse record player. Staying up all night listening to classic artist such as Billy Joel, Steve Miller and Janis Joplin gave him his first lessons in rhythm and harmony. The advent of MTV cemented Phil’s love of music and influenced him to pick up his first guitar. The moment he could string a few notes together he started a band. Through out middle school and high school Phil spent his time writing music and performing at school dances. By eighteen he was already playing in Boston area clubs wearing out his fake ID. In his early twenties he released an album with his band Shotgun Law that was a staple in the Boston hard rock scene. During this time he attend Berklee College of Music to further hone his craft. In recent years Phil has played the part of Sting in the band Ghost in the Machine (a Police tribute band), been lead vocalist/bassist in the reggae/rock band Regatta and bassist/vocalist for the Worcester MA based cover band Hit the Bus. Phil likes to be the foundation of the band and the reason your girl friend dances!
Adam Letourneau
DRUMS & VOCALS
With strong family influences and a passion to play music from a young age, Adam started out on the drums at the young age of 9. With pursuits through high school and college ranging from timpanist in a variety of orchestras, to playing in small original rock outfits, Adam’s wide-array of influences from Vic Firth to Neil Peart came out in a style all his own. After spending three years playing with Boston-based acoustic-rockers Wasting November, Adam got back to his true passion with his long-time friend Greg Massi in his work with the Prog-Metal outfit Baliset, where they released a full-length album (“A Time for Rust”) and a recent EP (“Exordium”). Now, Adam is ready to bring his brand of drumming and rhythm to the high-energy of cover music of He Said She Said!

It was then he was able to hone his craft, becoming a founding member of the band “Copper Jack” alongside current bandmates Adam Letourneau and Dave Gentile. Michael is the one who manages and programs this beautiful website. He is an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and the only band member willing to admit he is a fan of Def Leppard.
