ABOUT

Stop me if you've heard this before but I'm a singer/songwriter!

I also play a boatload of cover material because I actually like the songs I play and you will too!

I can hardly sleep at night knowing that there are still places out there where people are starving for entertainment. My quest is to find them and play 'em some tunes. In this fashion I hope to make the world a better place.

Anyway,

I'm looking to play your bar, restaurant, outdoor seating area, your barbeque and have also played living room concerts.

I bring all my own equipment if you don't have a PA system of your own.

My setlist is fluid and changes with my desire to keep the set fresh. Recently added Please Come to Boston by Dave Loggins, remember him? Neither do I but his song lives on.

I read the room whether it's a coffee house, a bar or barbecue, you're going to have an entertaining experience.

Good sound is important to me. Who wants to scream over the guitar player to order an adult beverage?

I can come play a set as an audition on a week night.

I'm open to that, no strings. Just reach out.

MUSIC

CALENDAR

Finally talked them into letting me set up closer to the bar. Don't be afraid to get closer.

7pm

Past Events

Not the Midway Cafe's in Jamaica Plain.

This is a more subdued and cherry sit-down place with perhaps the world's longest circular bar.

Start at 7.

It's been a while but back to where I started playing out again. Love this location. Great acoustics and crowd. If you're in the neighborhood, join in.

Iif anyone remembers those earlier shows at the Saw Dust in Sturbridge, the Putnam location is smaller and should be more interactive with the audience. Hope this pans out into more dates since I get a good rate at the local Motel 6.

Yeah, I have Christmas songs!

Not the Midway in JP! Dedham Circle. 7:00 PM start.

Haven't been here for awhile. Room sounds good. People hang out. A good room.

Main Street, downtown Milford. Plenty o' parking. 7:00 PM start.

At 26 Pine Street 1PM.

Rt 1A in Walpole. People are right up close. Very nice.
8 to 11pm.

Playing guitar with the Hough's and Why's band.

Thursday night. 7 to 10.

Playing guitar with Lounge duo; "Under the Covers" featuring songs by Fleetwood Mac, Carol King and Bonnie Raitt.

Starting earlier and I've managed to add some new songs to try out on an otherwise unsuspecting audience. They'll be fine.

Dedham Circle, can't miss the place.

Another Friday night show at the Sawdust. Big place, lot's o' people.

Will be doing a 50 minute set. It'll be nice to play in my old haunts again. It'll be a bang-up set, you can believe.

Quiet place where people go for dinner and conversation. Active bar with friendly locals. You can't not have a conversation with somebody around here.

The acoustics are great here. All the time I spend getting a good sound pays off.

7:30 to 10:30...ish. I usually play to 11:00 anyway.

That's a Friday night show at the most popular spot to play in town and you can't miss it since it's right on Main St by the entrance to Sturbridge Village (371 Main St to be exact). 8 to 11 PM. Coffee in the morning, full bar in the evening.

Back at the Midway in Dedham Circle. What can I say, they love me! Casual place, pull up a chair. That's what I do.

Right in Milford Center. I like it because it has a small bar area and it's like a house concert...but with a bartender.

That's right, it's a Thursday night. But everyone's out early with a good evening's entertainment under their belt.

Right in Dedham Circle. It's a nice sitdown type of local restaurant. Been there forever. Captive audience.
