About / Biography

Performing 90s Country and Classic Rock covers as a one man band style act. Electronic drum machine .. vocal harmonizer and synthesized pedals tied into my guitar round out my sound. Eagles, Elton John Brad Paisley, George Strait, Willie Nelson Jim Croce and America are just some of what I cover. I have my own sound gear and even a small light rig . Small enough to fit into most venues with enough sound to cover fairs and festivals. Performed in area festivals through out central Illinois such as Washinton Cherry Festival, Spoon River Drive in Canton , Heart of Illinois Fair and as far away as Pigeon Forge at the Country Tonight Theater .

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally try to arrive an hour to an hour an a half before the gig to set up. I normally play a three hour show with one or two breaks. if the the crowd is good I have no issues wuth staying longer.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, outside is fine as long as I can have some shade, a level place to perform, and a power supply close by . Parking close by to load in and load out is very helpful.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The client can make requests for certain artists they would like to hear. I once do a show recently where they were huge Jimmy Buffett fans and asked if I could do quite a few of his tunes in my mix .. ended up with about half an hour of just Jimmy for them. They sang evryone of them with me on and off stage.. too much fun.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I have been told that they like my selection in the fact I am constantly changing the music, Country one song, Rock the next, something with a Latin feel, something they can slow dance to, music they remember and can sing along. They say I'm very passionate in what I'm singing and love that I can get as close as I can without using tracks to perform my selection.
