About

Music has a unique way of bringing people together, and that is exactly what drives my performances. Based out of Tomah, Wisconsin, I’ve spent years honing a solo acoustic act that combines the driving rhythms of classic rock, the storytelling of classic country, and the raw honesty of Americana. Armed with just my acoustic guitar, a harmonica rack, and my voice, I love recreating the timeless sounds of icons like The Eagles, Brooks & Dunn, and Roy Orbison. For me, a great gig isn’t just about playing the notes perfectly—it’s about the people in the room. Whether I’m performing on an outdoor festival stage, playing a lively set at a local brewery, or sharing familiar favorites with residents at a senior living facility, my goal is always to engage the audience, spark a little nostalgia, and make sure everyone has a fantastic time.
