Acoustic, Oldies, Pop

In another life or chapter of life I had a hard rock band that played around SD for about 20 years and I was the lead guitar player. I wrote all the songs for that band and I eased into the singer/songwriter life. My vibe is Americana, roots, alt-country and classics. I basically play songs that I like written by my favorite songwriters and play songs where I feel I can do them justice. I'm good at reading the room and making adjustments. At the end of the day my view is that I'm am there to put on a show for whatever type of crowd there is. I give my vocals and guitar playing 110% and NEVER phone it in even if it's just me and a bartender. It doesn't matter what songs I play, my performance is my priority. After all, it's MY "rockstar" moment and God willing I'll do it for the rest of my life because music is life...for me.

I like to bring high energy to the stage but I especially like to take it back and really strip thingsdown and sing to people about real people problem and share an experience with people. I sing by myself but have an acoustic backing band if needed and support myself with my own professional gear including a Fender Passport Event P.A system.
