What to expect

I perform solo, acoustic sets of my original music combined with popular covers of songs from artists such as John Denver, Johnny Cash, Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Keith Whitley, George Jones, Lee Greenwood, and many more. I generally do one to three-hour shows and am passionate about building rapport with audiences through my dry sense of humor and witty interaction.

Additional booking notes

My requirements are simple - I just need a vocal mic and a DI to plug in my guitar for venues that provide sound. Otherwise, I have my own system I use.
