Whether it's solo acoustic, duo, trio, or in a full band, I've performing original and cover music live for over 10 years! My repertoire includes music from almost all genres and includes endeavors like working with and sharing the stage with bands and artists like Sublime with Rome, Richie Ramone of The Ramones, and Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show.
I play nearly 100 private events a year, and I've played 600+ events that include over a hundred weddings, performances for Fortune 500 companies, high-profile politicians, and more! Quality is my expertise! Let me give you a night to remember.
