Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

My all-time favorite gig was on a river bank in rural Bolivia, South America, playing for people who were cooling off in the river, encouraging them after their fields had been devastated by forest fires.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love being a part of festivals, theaters are great too, but I truly feel alive when I'm performing for people who are in need.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started performing in children's homes, public squares, and rural communities in Bolivia where I lived for 15 years. Now back in the US, I have been taking my music and storytelling to theaters, schools, libraries, festivals and even private parties.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Joel Mckerrow, an Australian poet greatly influenced my lyrical style, inspiring me to include spoken word in my songs.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive at least 1 hour before to set up. I can loop instrumental music for up to 2 hours straight. Pepito & The Trash Cans has a 45 and 60 minute version.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, I am. I can also bring a tent and provide battery-powered amplification if needed.


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

I only do a few covers and I don't learn songs for events. However, I am willing to discuss options.
