I am a guitarist and vocalist with over 35 years in music, specializing in folk-inspired popular covers from the early 1970s, including works by Cat Stevens, James Taylor, and The Beatles.
My formal training began in college, focusing on classical guitar, piano, and choir.
I perform with a professional PA system and utilize five distinct acoustic guitars—nylon, 12-string, two steel-string, and resonator—incorporating alternate tunings, flat picking, and fingerstyle techniques. My sets feature live foot percussion and harmonica to create a rich, soothing soundscape.
My priority is to foster a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, ensuring audiences can comfortably converse and connect. I am proud to be recognized for my ability to enhance, rather than overpower, the environment.
Additionally, I have collaborated with other artists and contributed original songwriting throughout my career.
