Bio
DRIVEN
I'm a singer/guitarist based in Orlando, FL specializing in rock covers that crowds want to hear. I perform mainly solo in the Central Florida area but have been known to travel afar for special gigs. It's my way of building community, spreading cheer, and making new friends. I am driven by the crowd's energy and emotions, especially when a good song sparks their treasured memories!
REAL/LIVE/ROCKIN'
I sing and play acoustic/electric guitar, creating and performing everything live with no voice correction and no pre-recorded backing tracks. Vocals are one my strengths and choreographed harmonies play a big role in my music. I utilize a harmonizer which enables me to multiply my voice into two, three, and sometimes four parts, producing richly layered harmonies. Guitar also plays a big role. I vary my sound using fingerstyle, pick fingerstyle, effects, loops, and alternate strum patterns to keep it interesting. On some songs, I'll use innovative looping of vocals and instruments to add depth, while being careful to maintain the flow of the song. I rely on each of these “tools,” always striving to recreate some of the magic of each and every song!
SONGS
Over the years, rock music has produced many great tunes. By learning and sharing these songs, I feel I play a tiny role in keeping rock music alive! I love songs from a wide range of styles including alt-rock, heartland, and singer-songwriter to post-grunge, power ballads, punk, and jangle pop. Though I perform a lot of up-tempo music, I have plenty of other tunes if the crowd wants to chill. My database of songs continues to grow and spans over six decades (60's to present). See: SONG LIST for a list of my best sounding songs (IMO).
