Ol' Moose and Friends at Daryl's House

Overview

I am a singer/songwriter and also play a variety of Americana covers from Jackson Browne to Jason Isbell. Some blues, some folk, some old country. I play solo but also play with a variety of friends in duos and trios. I can be quiet background music or up tempo rockin' blues. I have played all over the world in many different kinds of venues and understand how to adapt to venues and audiences.

What to expect

I try to asses quickly what a client or audience is looking for and adapt to the situation. I play a variety of guitar styles and sing in a variety of modes: folk, blues, classic country, and even some acoustic rock n roll. I can move from quiet happy hour/wedding music to full on dance music when required. I am on the whole low key and relaxed as a performer.

About

A long-time Americana musician who plays originals and covers in a variety of moods, from quiet background to up tempo blues. I have played all over the world with all kinds of musicians and am able to adapt to audience and venue. I was nicknamed "Moose" while playing back-up harmonica in New England in my youth, and so I have moved to the newer stage name of Ol' Moose. I simply enjoy playing music.

Additional booking notes

I can provide my own sound equipment and, for larger events, can provide lighting as well.
