ABOUT

I get compared to a cross between Elliot Smith and John Mayer with a stronger, slightly darker rock edge (I got compared to Toad the Wet Sprocket at my last show!). I often write in DADGAD tuning so some stuff has a Celtic feel to it. I'm looking for a full band of fun/committed musicians to fill out this sound.

Past Events

I just got back from an amazing musical tour around the U.K. and I can't wait to share some new tunes and stories with you all!

Needless to say, I'm thrilled to play at the world famous House of Blues on the Sunset Strip again. Last time over 50 of you showed up to support in this intimate upstairs venue and it was a blast! I'm doing it early on a Sunday night so everyone can get to work/class without having to call out (although, you're welcome to stay out late with me ;) Free street parking too!

I can't wait to see you all there!
