Overview

Acoustic music with spiritually thoughtful lyrics and melodies ranges from alternative and bluesy to folk. I have played in many bands for the last 26 years. I know covers but prefer to play original music. I am looking to play more acoustic shows: house shows, and churches. I make a great opening act, but I can also fill a 2-hour set if needed. I also enjoying preaching at events if that is preferred.

What to expect

I like to make jokes and talk in between songs. I also like to preach depending on the audience. I do a wide range of songs. I always cover a Bob Dylan song which changes show to show. I can do hundreds of covers but I prefer to play my own music.

About

In the past 26 years I have played everywhere from churches, weddings, funerals, coffee houses, restaurants, bars, beaches, street corners, living rooms, and barbecues. I have played in several bands and have appeared numerous times as a solo artist. I would love to play for you.

Stream or download my songs on reverbnation, band camp, YouTube, Amazon, Apple music, iTunes, Deezer or Spotify.

Additional booking notes

I will play any size venue. I prefer to use the "house" sound system. If I am playing a house show I sing loud enough not to require a PA.
