ABOUT

Many years spent as a solo acoustic, have been in bands led by others and three led by me, published and covered songwriter, have toured the country as a solo and a short tour with a band. Acustomed to playing several sets a night so I know a few covers but prefer to focus on original material, though if playing for fun there isn't much I won't try to sing and play along with. Nearly 70 but my tastes span the 60s through 2022. My only handicap is that I can't play rap or hip hop. I listen to it but it just doesn't come naturally to me the way other genres do.
