I am a Northwest based singer/songwriter. I perform regularly in and around the Northwest. My audiences range in age from college adults to "boomers". My influences are 60/70's rock, The Beatles, The Byrds, The Who and the music they were influenced by Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Elvis. More recently I have incorporated more traditional country in my performances, i.e. Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, and Hank Snow.
My current set list consists of my own material and covers of the Beatles, Neil Young, Elvis, Roy Oribison as well as artist and bands previously listed.
The music I play encourages the audience to sing along, and creates a cheerful, familiar atmosphere that keeps the crowds listening, enjoying, and staying for more.
My original works are an effort to resolve or express my emotions. Music has always been a way for me to understand relationships and feel connections to others. Through the ups and downs, loss and triumphs, no matter where I go "my friends" have always been there maybe not so much in flesh, but always in a song.
I play guitar and sing, occasionally I play Harmonica, banjo, and mandolin.
