Self-taught singer and guitarist, performing regularly in restaurants, bars, taverns and for private parties and events. I play/sing acoustic/electric covers of songs largely known and loved from many genres and generations.
Phil was fantastic, and the music selection was excellent. Everyone had a wonderful time at the event!

It was my pleasure bringing LIVE MUSIC to this wonderfully hosted event… I enjoyed the evening as much as the guests; sincere thanks!

I am a mature and professional performer, in appearance and action. I am timely, consistent and upbeat, and know how to interact with my audience, any kind (I have extensive experience as an emcee as well). I perform a variety of classic covers from different genres, adapted mainly for acoustic guitar and to highlight my singing and playing strengths/style. I sincerely love what I do and am told that enthusiasm and positive energy come across in my approach and execution, delivering listeners many songs that they largely know and enjoy!

*** My personal focus in performing professionally is to share my sound with you (of course) and to also "play it forward" towards local charities, food banks, and missions. I dedicate a sizeable portion of my wages and gratuities to help provide food and care for the less fortunate in the communities where I perform, so booking me also helps feed neighbors in need! *Over 55,500 meals and care "played forward" to date (March 2024).
