It was an absolute pleasure to meet staff members Elizabeth and Martha yesterday. They were very accommodating and friendly. The audience members were so much fun. I loved their song requests! I would love to play for them again!

What to expect

I have a set up that allows me to play just acoustically or with backing tracks.

About

I am a career musician who has been singing, playing guitar and writing music for over 40 years. I was in several bands and duos and have been going solo for a few years now. I like to play and sing a variety of styles ranging from Carole King, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac to Billy Joel, Doobie Brothers, Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake, The Weekend, Ed Sheeran.
I have a warm, rich voice and can sing beautiful love songs as well as gutsy blues and rock and roll.
My passion is songwriting which covers ballads as well as pop and rock styles.
My debut album in 1998 was Songs of Early Paradise, a mix of acoustic and electronic instruments. My second album is all instrumental based on the book Grandmother Moon by Katharine A. Young.
I have also recorded ambient music with Richard Bone or Quirkworks Laboratory Discs.

Additional booking notes

All I really need is some light and a little bit of space for set up. I have the rest!
