About Me

Dynamic performances. Authentic music. Catchy songs with a purpose. Creative guitar work woven with melodic vocals.

Influences… Dave Matthews, Radiohead, RATM, Willy Porter, Sublime, Mozart, Chris Whitley…

Comparisons... some of those artists, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Coldplay, Elliott Smith, Al Jarreau, Jack Johnson, Foo Fighters, Beck...

Traditional guitar structures combined with jazz-derivatives and a syncopated playing style makes it tough to compare. A vocal range and phrasing that's unusual, too.

My songs are my own. Fun is performing them live.
