There's something truly special about bringing music to life on stage. For almost 20 years I've been perfecting my craft as a musician and entertainer (yes, there's a difference). My musical focus is classic pop and rock from the 50s to the 90s. Using my guitar, voice and the occasional harmonica I work to bring these songs to life in a loose and casual atmosphere. My sets are interactive, engaging and include antidotes and the stories behind the songs and the artists who created them. All presented with a sense of expertise and a healthy dose of humor.
My songs include original music, along with vintage American folk and blues, and vintage songs from England and Ireland.

The Journey
The guitar for me has always been the ultimate symbol of cool. At 12 years old I first picked it up after being blown away by a new song that had just come out called American Pie. I knew that I HAD to learn how to play it! Immediately afterwards, a musical obsession with The Beatles took hold and I was on my way. My musical journey has led me on a mission where I discovered and connected with some of the most timeless musical treasures of the ages: The Beatles...Buddy Holly...Bob Dylan...Johnny Cash...The Beach Boys...The Rolling Stones...Gram Parsons...Tom Petty...The Byrds...Jimmy Buffet...Nick Lowe...The Kinks...Bruce Springsteen...Elvis Costello...Bob Marley...The Who...Led Zeppelin...Eric Clapton...and so many more. But not just the songs - but the stories behind the songs as well.
​
Along the way I also started writing my own songs. My journey continues to this day. In recent years I started digging deep and discovering old American folk and blues music as well as traditional songs of English and Irish descent. These songs are featured in my sets as well. So much music and so little time - I can't wait to see where my journey takes me next!

"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things."
Tom Petty

"The music that touches you in your youth is magnified as you get older. Each record can be a virtual time machine - all you need to hear is a second or two and you go back to that place and time when you first heard it. It's a brilliant feeling when music touches you so profoundly and stays with you through time."
