Solid professional singer and guitarist with lots of experience on stages big and small, cubs, private events, weddings. Excellent front man leading all kinds of bands from cover to complete original. Play and sing all styles. Very authentic if required. I can practice any day any time.

I am looking to play 200+ shows a year. Travel no problem. I also have dual citizenship. USA and Ireland so don't need visa to tour/work full time in Europe.

Previously played in a 50s/60s act iand opened many shows for the Platters, Drifters, Del Vikings, Johnny Maestro, Arlene Smith, the Five Satins, Cleveland Still and the Dubs, the Channels, Marvelettes, - 25+ acts in all at venues such as Asbury Park Convention Hall, The Beacon Theatre etc. Also had a band The Flying Dogs of Jupiter that was pretty successful in the mid-70s. We were one of the first indie bands to produce and release our own album "American Dream". Google the band! Have a number of CDs released with The Flying Dogs of Jupiter.
Also professional recording engineer with "portable" studio (Pro Tools).
