ABOUT

I have only been singing lead and playing guitar for three years but I have been performing and practicing every week and now getting paid at a number of venues to perform 1 to 4 hour shows. Enjoying every minute and also entertain at Senior Homes, small venues, Jams, Open mics and much more. Now performing with a very experienced lead guitarist.
Always open to larger venues and private gigs or joining folk or celtic bands that require a lead singer-rythmn guitarist.
I am very comfortable performing in front of any size crowd. I was a public speaker for many years, so this helps when performing.
I know over 400 cover songs and learning new ones every week. Also memorizing many songs to give a stronger performance style.
