Head to the BIO page for more on what I'm about.

(Spoiler: On the hunt for people to collaborate with!)

HIRING

I'm in the business of providing live entertainment around Chicagoland and beyond.
A singing guitarist, I have an extensive list of songs that I play across many genres and decades, though the bulk of which are rock-oriented classics, alternative crowdpleasers, etc.  I can safely play for up to 3-4 hours (though have been known to go longer if necessary... ). Ask for a song list if you're curious! I come with my own sound equipment as well if your event/venue needs it. Feel free to contact me and we will work something out that fits your needs!

Available for live performance-setups and as a session player for Bass Guitar, Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Keyboard, Ukulele, Cajon/percussion, and Vocals (harmony/bgv's or lead).

I also arrange songs, especially when it comes to harmonies, and do production work.

Always on the lookout for new collaborators, musicians to play with, venues to perform at, tracks to sing, play on, or arrange, and of course, co-writes!

 

For more immediate news, follow me on whichever social media platforms you're into.

The Story So Far 

I wrote a somewhat long, detailed bio that included many of the most pivotal experiences in my life as it pertains to music.....which is exactly what they tell you NOT to do. Keep it short and concise they say. Touché, but there is still some unique, awesome, and possibly embarrassing stuff that has happened that I think is worth sharing. Maybe one day.
