Overview

I’m a singer, guitarist, pianist, and songwriter who can provide a wide variety of entertainment, from acoustic cover sets of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s songs to piano cocktail music to solo electric guitar performances reminiscent of Jeff Buckley. I have a repertoire of over 700 songs and am especially suited for breweries, cocktail hours, corporate events, and private parties. Say what you want and I’ll specially cultivate a show to fit your needs.

What to expect

I play acoustic guitar and sing, putting on a highly energetic performance of primarily rock covers, ranging from the '50s - present day. Often I'm accompanied by my brother on saxophone, and he adds a unique touch to what I bring to the table.

About

In 2023, I played close to 100 private events, house concerts, bridal showers, and weddings. I play a unique mix of covers you know and love, rearranged in my signature energetic acoustic guitar style. Would love for your event to be part of my 2024 calendar. Feel free to reach out through GigSalad or contact me directly through my website at (link hidden).

Additional booking notes

I'll bring my own PA. I run my own sound, and the only thing I'll need is an outlet to plug my surge protected power strip into.
