Most artist BIO’S are full of embellished and exaggerated comments about how awesome the artist or band is, but I would just like to share my heart with you…….
Regardless of what you read, see or listen to throughout my page, I will be ultimately judged on what really matters…my performances, my reliability, my professionalism, and most of all, my ability to keep it real and entertain.
I have been playing and singing in bands since the age of 14 and I’m still going strong after 50 years and I truly believe that longevity in this business is a far better resume’ than a lot of glossy words.
Come and see me at one of my shows and see first hand what I do!
I am very passionate about my music and what I do and when you choose to use me for your Venue, Function or Special Occasion you will know you have made a great decision!
