BIO
Picked Up a Guitar In 1997 & Never Looked Back
I was born and raised in Batavia, NY, which provided a solid balance between the cultures and experiences of both Rochester and Buffalo. I cut my teeth at coffee shops and open mics all over the region. I've lived and played in cities and towns from Albany, NY to Bismarck, ND. I love taking popular songs and putting my own acoustic spin on them. When I'm not working my regular job as a General Manager, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my beautiful family.
HAVE GIGS, WILL TRAVEL
LIVE ACOUSTIC ENTERTAINMENT
Something for Everyone
I play a very wide variety of acoustic covers of just downright good songs.
From classics like The Beatles, Neil Young, and Simon & Garfunkel, to more modern selections like Chris Stapleton, The Lumineers, and The Black Keys, you're guaranteed to start tapping a foot and singing along.
Please contact me if you're looking to add quality live music to your event or venue!
