Playing a great selection of acoustic soft rock music. I have a wide-ranging repertoire which includes 200+ songs from over 80 different artists that spans six decades with the heaviest concentration on the great music of the 60s and 70s. Many venue owners and managers have said that I provide the perfect vibe for their venue. Customers frequently tell me that they not only enjoy my music selection but also like that I manage my sound levels so they can hear the music, yet still carry on a conversation.
I have my own sound equipment and am available every day (for the most part).

April 13, 2026We had a fantastic time at our Spring Backyard Bash, and Captain Tom was a big part of the celebration! He brought a great selection of music that really connected with our 55+ community and kept the energy of the evening just right for a fun, true backyard party vibe. Residents were engaged, singing along, and enjoying themselves throughout the entire event. We received many positive comments about how much everyone was loving the music!
We truly appreciate the entertainment he provided and would be happy to welcome him back for future events!

I perform a great selection of soft rock acoustic covers. Mt repertoire includes songs from 6 decades from the 50s into the 2000s and encompasses over 80 different artists. Most songs are from the 6-3 and 70s with good coverage of the 80s and 90s. Some artists include, Tom Petty, The Beatles, Collective Soul, Simon & Garfunkel, , Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Jim Croce, The Eagles, Neil Young, Stine Temple Pilots and many more.
I am noted for audio levels that allow people to hear and enjoy the music while still being able to carry in a conversation
After many years, I picked up the guitar again in 2009 and started performing in public venues in 2011. I have played at bars, restaurants, taverns, pubs, coffee houses, wine bars, fairs, group functions, fund raisers, weddings, one funeral and private house parties.
Having retired from corporate life in 2022, performing music is my sole passion.
I only require a clear space to setup and play. An area with sufficient lighting is preferred,
Outdoor venues - a shaded or sheltered area is preferred.
I have my own sound equipment and lighting (when required)
