Overview

Solo guitar and vocals featuring songs by Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, all the way to The Ramones. Songs you know but not songs anyone else plays, done with attitude. Small footprint, lower decibel level...unless the party requires more!

Booking information

Price range: $150 to $300

Gig length: 90 - 240 minutes

What to expect

Expect me to take up a rather small footprint with a lower decibel level than full bands; perfect for cocktail and dinner hour. I am comfortable playing in the background, but can provide on-stage banter with the crowd if appropriate. And I can up the volume if the situation requires it.

About

Optometrist by day, musician by heart. I have been listening and playing music my entire life. I play mostly cover tunes from the late 70's to this century. Primarily the "B" sides. Plus, I throw in a couple of my own compositions. I gravitate towards songs you know, but not songs that anyone else plays.

Additional booking notes

I am a self-contained unit. I only require an electrical outlet and shelter from rain and too much sun.
