About

I have been a professional musician since '79, played full time in regionally successful bands through the 80's as lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Played large night clubs and opened for national acts. I now am a solo artist playing in clubs, resorts, festivals, wineries, restaurants, taverns, etc. Besides my original music, I cover a wide variety of artists from the 50's to today playing familiar songs but not the "typical" acoustic cover songs. In addition, I share the vocals and play both guitar and bass in a duo.
Voice teacher since 2011. My students learn to use their voices most efficiently. They increase their range and control dramatically, erase the 'break' between registers with a method that protects their voice. They gain the freedom to be able to sing a variety of genres. In addition, I offer many opportunities for students to perform with me and feature them at concerts. I love teaching and watching students find their own true voices.
In 2006, I began directing a choir and praise band a few years later.
Now I am thoroughly enjoying a career as a full time musician - performing, teaching, and directing. Website: (link hidden)
