Overview

(link hidden)

I sing and play acoustic guitar for bars, private events, dinner atmospheres, weddings, and cocktail hours. I range anywhere from soft folk music such as Van Morrison, Paul Simon, or Jack Johnson for the dinner time atmosphere to 90's and today's hits for a more upbeat scene. I can take a 2-4 request prior the event so I can learn them provided they are in my vocal range.

Great band

We happened upon these guys in Saint Augustine, Florida. They were playing at an open event venue. The music was great and we had a wonderful time.
