What to expect
I perform solo acoustic sets featuring a wide variety of covers spanning multiple genres and decades — from classic rock and 90s alternative to pop, folk, and modern favorites. Whether you’re looking for background music that sets the mood or something more upbeat to get people singing along, I can tailor the setlist to fit the vibe of your event. I’m also happy to take requests ahead of time or even on the spot, when possible.
My sound is warm, full, and easy to listen to — just vocals and acoustic guitar, run through a small professional sound system that fits well in any space. Everything is self-contained and simple to set up. All I typically need is access to one standard power outlet.
I'm punctual, easy to work with, and respectful of the flow of your event. I can work with you on timing, volume, set lengths, and any other specific needs you might have. I can also set up an additional microphone for you and your party to use for announcements and whatever else. Whether it's a private party, wedding, corporate gathering, or public event, my goal is to help create a great atmosphere and a smooth experience from start to finish.
About
I’ve been playing guitar for about 12 years and performing live around Pennsylvania for the last 6. I play a mix of public shows — bars, breweries, festivals — and private events like weddings, parties, and other gatherings.
I grew up in Schuylkill County and started learning guitar in my early teens. Music has always been a big part of my life, but I really started playing out more regularly while I was a student at Temple University in Philadelphia. Since then, performing has become something I’ve stuck with and grown into over the years. I've played in a variety of settings with full bands, independent artists, recording sessions, and more over the years.
I’m now based in Harrisburg and focus mostly on solo acoustic sets. I cover songs from all different eras and genres, and I try to keep things flexible depending on the crowd. Whether it’s a laid-back dinner set or a more upbeat night where people are singing along, I always try to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere through the music.
Additional booking notes
The only need is access to one power outlet. Whether that's a typical wall outlet or extension cord, all I need is a standard three-prong outlet.
