Acoustic music with heart and soul
What I do:
I’m a singer and acoustic guitarist with a love for folk, country, classic rock, and easygoing storytelling songs. My sets mix well-known tunes reimagined in a stripped-down acoustic style.
Whether it’s creating a relaxed atmosphere at a restaurant, bringing energy to a private party, or providing music for a special occasion, I keep the focus on connection through simple, soulful songs.
Songlist…
Music that makes the room feel right.
Here’s a (small) taste of what you’ll hear at a show — a mix of classics, sing-along favorites, and easygoing acoustic tunes that fit just about any crowd. Every set is different, but the goal’s always the same: great energy, good sound, and a night people remember.
Requests are always welcome.
