Description

Versatile, reliable, personable and professional, I have a wide range of acoustic guitar instrumentals and over 1000 guitar/vocal songs from the 1920s to 2K covering folk, jazz, pop, rock, blues, caribbean, country, singalongs, standards, oldies, classics, broadway, easy listening and much more. Specialty songs for Children, St Patricks Day, Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July, Halloween and Christmas. Over 30 years performing and recording experience across the Americas, I've worked with top international performers and learned from them how to entertain your group. I will learn any special requests. Self-powered for events on the beach or among the redwoods! I also work with other experienced pro musicians and can expand into a guitar duo, or a Jazz, Rock, Blues, Country, Top 40 or Latin band, depending on your needs. I'm here to help you put the fun in your function!
