About
Solo acoustic performances that are heartfelt, high-energy, and engaging — perfect for keeping guests entertained in a way that feels both personal and memorable.
Every song is performed with just voice and acoustic guitar, reimagined through a stripped-down style that fits everything from laid-back lounges and patios to lively bar sets, weddings, and private events.
Whether providing background ambiance or leading a singalong crowd, the performance is adaptable, professional, and tailored to the room. Looping is used rarely and only when it adds to the song’s impact, never as a gimmick.
A genre-spanning acoustic mix of country, folk, Americana, rock, and pop — from Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Tyler Childers to Green Day, The Killers, and Blink-182.
The setlist also features pop favorites from artists like Miley Cyrus, Portugal. The Man, Harry Styles, and Post Malone, alongside indie gems and nostalgic crowd-pleasers from the ’90s and 2000s.
All songs are performed in a signature solo acoustic style, making familiar hits feel both fresh and intimate, with wide appeal across generations and musical tastes.
With decades of live performance experience, this artist brings a polished and reliable presence to any event — from intimate house shows and weddings to busy patios, resorts, and music festivals.
All performances are fully self-contained, with sound equipment provided as needed, and clear communication every step of the way. The artist is professional, easy to work with, and focused on delivering an experience that complements the tone and goals of your event, while keeping guests engaged with familiar music presented in a unique acoustic style.
