What to expect

My performance sounds like a full band with custom-made bass and drum backing tracks, so you don't settle for the same old acoustic and vocal act! (unless you prefer that). I don't do requests since I perform all songs by memory but rest assured, I cover a wide range of pop-rock songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and today to satisfy your music needs!

About

I'm an original pop/rock singer, songwriter, and musician from Maryland. I've written and recorded over 100 songs to date. My songs have been featured on compilation CDs with Iggy Pop, The Thrills, O.A.R., Al Green, The Bloody Lovelies, etc., as well as internet radio stations across the globe. I began my music career as the lead singer and bass player for the alternative rock band SmudgeProof in 1999. And more recently, I teamed up with vocalist and songwriting talent Cyrus Keefer and vocalist Kayla Rae to form the band Airwaves Spectacular! I play shows in the MD, DE, PA, and VA areas and have played at the Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore, Frisco Tap House, Power Plant Live, Linganore Winery, Rockwell Brewery, Island Green, Liquidity Aleworks, Twain's Tavern, The Vine on Main, Union Jack's, etc. Professional, friendly, reliable, and fun!

Additional booking notes

I have a plethora of professional sound equipment/lighting and can perform outdoors or in. For inquiries, please provide event details, address, dates, times, etc. Additionally, all quotes include travel, setup, performance, and cleanup. Thanks.
