I am an experienced guitarist/singer who does cover songs. I primarily perform familiar pop and classic rock songs acoustically with some current popular songs, blues, standards, and a bit of country.

I enjoy interacting with the crowd and try to take requests as much as possible. I try to make the experience fun for everyone and keep things up beat and light. Singing along is encouraged and if someone wants to sing a song they are always welcome to get up and join me for one. I am on time and keep my breaks short and play break music that everyone can enjoy between my sets. I can always find the music the crowd enjoys and go with the flow.
I have played in bands of all types over my 50 year career. I am currently performing some of my favorite music using solo acoustic guitar and voice. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I am well versed in the pop songs of that era as well as classic rock favorites. I like to mix it up and do some blues and country as well and have several of my favorite current songs to keep it fresh. I hope to get you singing along with my favorites as well as yours.
As a solo artist my requirements are minimal. Lights are always a plus but not required. I have everything with me that is needed including PA system and even my own power if necessary. I have a 1400 watt battery powered inverter that will run all my equipment for approximately 4 hours if necessary. I bring a cover if protection from the weather is needed. All I need is a little space to play.
