Overview

I'm a singer-songwriter based in DFW. I can play covers and originals. My covers range from Bonnie Raitt to The Eagles, and everything in between. I have a theater background, so I love performing and also know how to work a crowd. I have my own equipment and can set up and load out quickly. I have played internationally at venues, bars, and private events.

Languages: English, German

Gig length: 10 - 240 minutes

What to expect

I'm a solo acoustic act with a passion for thought-provoking lyrics. I love singing everything from Brandi Carlile to The Turtles (I've got a big vocal range). I accompany myself on acoustic guitar. I also have a background in theater, so I am good with crowds of all sizes and can either fade into the background for a gig where I am just providing atmosphere or I can work the crowd if that's what's desired!

About

I am an indie-folk singer/songwriter based in McKinney. I've been a singer my whole life, and have been playing around DFW for the last 3 years. I've played at local restaurants and bars and at venues including Deep Ellum Art Co., Poor David's Pub, Opening Bell Coffee, among others.

Additional booking notes

If I am providing my own equipment, I have a mixing board with bluetooth, a PA, a mic and all of the necessary cords and stands. My PA is an Electro Voice ZLX-12P, with a maximum SPL of 126 dB. I also have a power strip and extension cord. If playing without access to a power outlet, I have a small Roland Cube Street that is battery-powered.

If the equipment is being provided, I just need two inputs (one vocal mic and one acoustic guitar).
