Masterful Guitar Technique With a Velvety Voice ...

When Ian performs, he connects with his audience. Ian's vocals are captivating, and you feel like he is performing each song for you personally even if the room is crowded and people are conversing. He makes the evening memorable because as a listener you can sense his passion for music and performing.

What to expect

You can expect a warm, outgoing, approachable musician who loves the music he plays. You can expect me to read a crowd and adjust my setlist to what people react to and I have a keen sense of what music to play based on the setting and crowd. You can also expect a clean and talented acoustic guitarist with notable vocal prowess.

About

Just a kid from Jacksonville Beach, FL who loves to play his favorite music. I play music for the love of music, what it gives to me, and how I can impact others. I play a very wide variety of songs and believe I can impress any crowd of people and people of any age.
