Overview

I’m a singing guitarist/keyboardist offering a warm, indie-leaning take on classic and modern songs for intimate events – art galleries, bookstores, small gatherings, and laid-back parties. My set blends familiar favorites (Bill Withers, Elton John, Harry Styles, David Bowie, and more) with tasteful deep cuts, arranged for voice, guitar or piano, and subtle rhythm support. I keep the volume conversation-friendly and the vibe relaxed, focusing on good time feel, clear vocals, and songs that make people smile, hum along, or just enjoy having a musician in the room.

What to expect

A relaxed, indie-leaning solo set with clear vocals, tasteful guitar or piano, and light rhythm support. I arrive early to set up a compact sound system, keep the volume conversation-friendly, and tailor the vibe to your space – from mellow background music to more focused listening. You can expect a mix of familiar favorites and deeper cuts (Bill Withers to Harry Styles to David Bowie), professional communication before and during the event, and a low-drama, self-contained setup that won’t overwhelm your guests or your room.

About

Conservatory-trained jazz piano-player and founding member of several indie pop bands (Bedford Davis, The Sedgwicks, Trikona, Phil and the Blank).

Influences and inspiration

David Bowie, Blur, Peter Bjorn and John, Lykke Li, Feist, The Shins, Caveman, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and 5000 other tracks I found on Spotify.

Setup requirements

One standard 120V power outlet within 10–15 feet of the performance area

A clear space approximately 6 ft x 6 ft for my setup (guitar/keyboard, mic stand, and small speaker)

Protection from weather for outdoor events (cover from sun/rain and a flat, stable surface)

Nearby parking or a safe loading area for bringing in gear

For quieter, listening-focused events: a relatively low-noise area so vocals and instruments can be heard comfortably
