I'm looking for a bluegrass, country, blues, gospel, folk, or Americana ensemble to play harmonica for. That's my true passion is playing the harmonica. I can also pick and strum a variety of instruments and have been doing so for many years. I strive to make the audience feel the emotion of the song. Would love to get any type of gig setup that's out there! I love making music.
