I have been rated by Gigmasters as a *5 star* entertainer for the past seven years in a row, and am one of Gigmasters' higher rated performers. I want the music to truly be a live performance, so while I perform as a one man band, I don't add pre-recorded backing tracks or music. This gives me more flexibility with the music and performance than playing along with pre-recorded tracks allow. It's just me, a guitar, and a portch board bass (a neat little tuned drum I play with my feet). I also bring along a lot of song list copies, and am always ready for song request from you and your guest. I am very proud of my CUSTOMER REVIEWS. The past customer comments let you know how successful your party or event will be, and why everyone has so much fun.

My love for music and performing started when I was playing and singing on my Father's first Legislative Campaign Tour. I was 5 years old. I formed my first real band when I was 15. While in High School, I played string bass with the Oklahoma Youth Orchestra, and the Oklahoma University Lab Band and Oklahoma City Symphony, and sang and played guitar with local "Rock & Roll", "Country", and "Motown/Soul" Band's in the North Texas & Oklahoma areas. I was exposed to lots of different styles of music during my younger years, and use all of trhem during my Gigs.

I had the honor of playing bass with the Ike and Tina Turner Review during my early college days (before their famous split-up), and played guitar and sung with performers like Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Tommy Castro, Delbert McClinton, Bruce Channel, Harlow Wilcox, Edgar Cruz, Rob McNally, and a few other nationally known recording artists. I have also done session playing for other artist around the country.

In addition to having a normal corporate career, I have been a gigging solo guitar player/singer for most of my adult life. I have performed a One-Man-Show in Las Vegas (for over a year), and now specialize in Private Parties and Functions, and Corporate Events.
I have a very large musical repertoire, and can mix enough different types of music during my sets to please everyone in the crowd. I am equally at home at YOUR private house party as I am on a concert stage.

It can be as simple as me singing and playing the guitar, or for most Gigs, I also play a porch board bass with one foot and control a voice harmonizer with the other. The harmonizer creates instant harmonies of my voice, and makes for a very full and fun sound. I have high quality instruments and PA sets that will handle any sized venue, from large halls and outdoor events to small parties in private homes. I always keep very good control of the sound volume and make sure it is at the appropriate level for the event. Don't worry about things getting "too loud". I realize conversations and socializing are one of the main reason for the party, and make sure to keep the music in the background. But, when you want to Rock & Roll, I am always ready to "step-it-up".
