If you've watched any of my video samples, this is a good representation of my style and vibe. The sample songs are songs I perform as part of my live set. To summarize, I provide high quality listening music, with clear and focused guitar, and top line vocals. I can provide music for an intimate subdued vibe, or music with the energy turned up a notch! I am well versed in different genres, and can tailor a set list to accommodate a variety of settings.

Music has always been in my DNA. From impersonating Elvis in kindergarten class, to playing my first public gigs at the age of 13, I started young and only excelled from there. After cutting my teeth in numerous bands in my teens and 20’s, I turned my attention to songwriting, and teaching guitar.

Author of over 100 songs, I have recorded two albums with groups, and two solo albums. I began teaching guitar nearly 25 years ago, and have been immersed in the online teaching industry as a producer, director and teacher for the last 10 years. An accomplished vocalist, you can find many examples of my work online in various original and cover projects.

Music production has been a passion of mine for many years. I excel in producing guitar/vocal based music, with a particular affinity for rock, blues, country and folk.

I work from my home studio in Fort Collins, CO, and I am available for hire as a guitarist, vocalist, producer, guitar teacher and performer.

I travel with a small PA system that is adequate for small and some medium sized venues. Beyond that size, I would need the sound system to be provided. I have pro gear - multiple acoustic guitars, effects and outboard gear when needed. I can also play very small gatherings (small weddings for example) with just myself and a guitar. My setup is compact, and I can usually fit in whatever space is available. I do not travel with lighting, so if lights are a concern, they will need to be provided.
