I offer a wide variety of rock, pop and soul classics in solo acoustic format; perfect for weddings, dinner parties, coffee houses, wineries, and the old backyard sing along. I perform all over Inland Southern California, from Palm Springs, to Lake Arrowhead and all points in between.

I give a casual, interactive performance of favorite songs from many eras. It's all about making the audience happy. This means taking requests, joking and engaging the audience. I'm always on time, well-dressed and I play through top quality equipment. Hope to see ya soon!
I must have been four or five years old. My hippie parents had taken me to an afternoon potluck or a mini rock festival, depending on your perspective. The band was probably playing cut rate “Smoke on the Water” or “Whipping Post,” but it looked to me like a pretty serious endeavor. I wandered up close enough so that the sonic force of their amplifiers blew back my hair. I was hooked.
It’s been like that ever since. I’ve been playing guitar and singing all my life. I’ve performed as a member of many bands that specialize in classic rock covers, including my current group, The Spirit Shop. I'm also a solo acoustic performer of favorite rock, folk and country songs across many eras. Finally, I have an extensive catalogue of original songs and have recorded three albums.
Playing music gives me the greatest joy and I love nothing more than to share it with an audience.
As a great poet once said, “…it’s gotta be rock and roll music, if you wanna dance with me.”
