I play lively original folk songs as well as popular songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's up to today with a folkish twist. I have enough material to cover about a 3 hour set. Prior to moving to Florida, I played in coffee shops, restaurants, etc., in the Portland Oregon area. I'd love to chat with you about what you'd like to see happen at your next event.
Thanks,
-Mike :)

If you're looking for music for your next gathering, I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need. I'm comfortable doing a 2-3 hour set blended with a mix of pop, rock, and folk tunes that will keep an audience smiling. I can engage with an audience or simply be background music. Whatever you need from me, I'm happy to accommodate.
Music has been a big part of my life since I was 14. It carried me through tough times and brings joy to my heart! Music really has the ability to transport a person to another place in time. There's nothing better to me than when I see an audience smile because of familiar song. If you need a singer/songwriter, folkish-type of musician for your reception, gathering or corporate event, let me know! I'm happy to accommodate :)
I have a small PA system that is appropriate for most of the gigs that I do and I'm more than happy to bring it along if you do not have an in-house PA system.

I sprinkle in some originals, but I also do popular covers. Here are a handful of songs I cover:

Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
Crazy - Gnarles Barkley
Hey Ya - Outkast
Jolene - Ray LaMontagne
Take It Easy - Eagles
The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel

I'm a big fan of Indie-Folk artists like, William Fitzsimmons, Damien Rice, and Ray LaMontagne. I also really like to take popular tunes from the 70's - today and give them a folkish twist. To me, there's nothing better than seeing a crowd light up when they recognize a tune and enjoy a different approach to it. I often hear, "hey, I love the version of that song you did!"
