Overview
I have been performing professionally as a blues artist, and as a country artist for over 10 years averaging over 200+ shows a year throughout the midwest. I perform as a solo acoustic artist, acoustic duo, electric blues trio, and as a full band. I perform both cover songs and original songs and my genre's include everything from traditional & modern blues, americana, country, folk, and rock & roll. I have had the opportunity to open for several international artists over the years, play many festivals, as well as many high profile corporate events. I have over 4+ hours of covers and original songs and make sure to cater to exactly what the event and client needs from my services.

JL showed up early and started on time. He was great about keeping the volume where we needed it. He has a great voice and a wide array of rock, blues, country, and other music to showcase -- including originals. We already plan to have him back in the near future.

Thanks so much Vince for having me! It was great to meet you and everyone else. I had a blast! Feel free to reach out again whenever you are needing live music.
JL was so great! We held a corporate event at Soho House, and JL did a perfect job of providing the right ambiance. He is a very talented musician and I would absolutely hire him again for another event.

JL was wonderful when he performed at our company event in January 2024. JL's expertise shone brightly throughout the evening. His versatility as an artist was evident as he masterfully blended genres ranging from traditional and modern blues to Americana, country, folk, and rock & roll. He added so much ambiance that everyone enjoyed.
One Man Band
JL performed at our wedding during cocktail hour. He delivered everything that we wanted and more. We wanted someone who could fit the vibes of fun acoustic music and getting the party started. JL was able to deliver this perfectly. He not only preformed so many well known songs but also played originals that our guests loved. JL was an amazing addition to our special day and we are grateful to have had him be a performer on our special day. I would 100% recommend booking him for your event.
