What to expect

I pride myself on being easy to work with and delivering what venues and hosts are looking for. I'm respectful of time and never go over. I'm willing to work with you to create the experience you're looking for.
My typical show consists of original music and 1-2 covers. I can be background music or be the entertainment. I can tailor my banter to specific audiences. I am upbeat, positive and family friendly.
