Overview

I am a Blues and Swing Guitarist specializing in 1930's though 1950's Jazz. I have traveled the world and have performed many jazz festivals and venues from Canada, UK, Germany, and right here in Southern California. I enjoy performing solo background guitar to help enhance your event. I take pride in being able to contribute to your function through music. I will be able to help define your special occasion through music. If you enjoy vintage music my repertoire spans T-Bone Walker, Django Reinhardt, Lonnie Johnson, Al Casey, etc. All listenable unique but not obtrusive, but contributive. Thank you so much for viewing my profile.

What to expect

My performances are non intrusive, but can be engaging for people wanting to listen. The music I play sets an atmosphere of class with a vintage feel. My physical footprint is small, I can fit in a small space. People won't be distracted if they wish to converse with others. A live musician creates an energy that recorded music cannot.
