Derek strives for a live show that is technically and musically dazzling as well as intimate and tasteful. He seeks to create a connection with the audience no matter its size and make the show as memorable as possible by combining guitar mastery, humor and humble honesty. 

​Just some of Derek's notable past performances include The Dairy Center for the Arts, Band on the Bricks, Fox Theater, Boulder Classical Guitar Society, KMG Studios, The Walnut Room, Oriental Theater, and The Denver Art Society in Denver, as well as dozens of other venues.  His goal is to develop as much as he can as an artist and ultimately reach a global audience with his music. 

​Says Derek, "It's my goal to put as much emotion and what you might call character and magic into each of my songs. My music has dragons in it, fairies and elves, creatures from the bottom of the sea, from other planets, my music is from a place that I know well yet can only remember faint traces of." I want people to connect when they hear it. Connect to the music, to the far-out parts of themselves, to other people, to the world. That's what good music does, it makes you stop for a minute or two and go 'wait, what's all this about.'  Music is such an integral part of who I am that I can't imagine life without composing and performing."  

Derek has produced dozens of songs and several LPs showcasing different genres of music.  His first all original guitar music album is Metaphysics. He also has an EDM album, Decagon, which features many sub-genres of original EDM.  A new EP of all original, percussive fingerstyle, steel-string guitar called A Different Wavelength is available here: (link hidden) and is sure to knock your socks off.

A power outlet near the performance space is always nice.
