ABOUT

I am a solo musician who sings and plays guitar/ukulele as well as uses a loop station for some songs to give them more of a small group dynamic sound. I've played several hundred to a thousand times live at various venues over the past 10 years: coffeehouses, bowling alleys, bars, wineries, clubs, art galleries, charity events, private house concerts, hospitals, assisted living facilities/nursing homes, and more recently, weddings, during the church ceremony or cocktail hour. I currently play at a few bars, quite a few wineries, and am looking to get into the wedding circuit more and more as a solo artist.

Aside from a vast collection of cover songs ranging from oldies to country to classic rock to Motown to Pop to Alternative 90's to R&B/Hip Hop to spiritual/religious, I also have a plethora of original songs which are perfect for weddings (Make This Moment Last, Forever in Love, and New Hope to name a few).

Prices vary depending on the length of performance, travel time to and from the performance, as well as what type of performance (church ceremony or cocktail hour) you are looking to have on your special day.
