Bio

My musical style is Eclectic. I play hundreds of songs in many styles ranging from Folk to Theme Songs to Rock N Roll to Show Tunes to Country. My repertoire ranges from America to Zevon, including the Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen,Tom Petty and Jimmy Buffet, as well as originals.

I enjoy entertaining people and I have a knack for playing the right music at the right time. I get folks singing along, and I love to make them smile.
