About

I play many original songs as well as many covers. I play acoustic guitar and sing. I have been playing since 1975 I started playing professionally in 1978. I have my own equipment. Will play any event, also house concerts, etc. Some of the artists I cover are The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, and many many others. Here is a link to some of my original songs and a couple of covers.
I play mostly 60`s - 70`s music. If you need a certain song or songs I will be happy to do them. Will travel up to 200 miles, possibly more for the right price.
