Question 1

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?

Accepted Answer

I call it pop-laced folk-rock. A blend of upbeat toe tappers, thoughtful ballads with some catchy, quirky and funny things along the way. As a songwriter I have a deep well of originals to draw from but I also play covers from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, like a good mix tape. Just let me know what kind of show you want at your venue.

Question 2

HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE?

Accepted Answer

I usually charge $50 per performance hour. (Subject to travel distance on occasion.)  Let me know your budget. I always have a tip jar and merch to sell also. Let's talk.

Question 3

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR GIGS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The price may vary on the distance, but I do travel. I have played in 11 states and once in Canada (so far).

Question 4

DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SOUND EQUIPMENT?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I travel with a compact sound system, stands, mics and cords.  I am a solo act, so I don't take up much room. I can fit most all venues.

Question 5

DO YOU HELP PROMOTE?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I use social meda - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to promote all my shows. On Facebook, if I don't have a known audience in the area, I will often pay for a little FB promotion also. I also have fliers that I can send via email for you to print off or that I can mail, if needed. Feel free to check out my social media (where I am quite active):
