Music has been incredibly healing for me, and that's my goal with my songs. I'm Unfiltered. Unpretty. Unapologetic.
It's an honor to be able to perform live. There's nothing like the vibration of music, so come join me. I perform solo acoustic shows, and also have best band to light the stage up with. All my gigs are on the FB events calendar, and I try to add them below.

I'm real. I'm imperfect. Take me as I am.
Playing live I will bring the energy, probably hit a note wrong, not be pitch perfect... but I will be a connectable genuine force that invites you in. My community calls this the "joy ride".
My fans have created a drinking game for my live shows. Every time I drop a guitar pic, y'all take a drink

My fans have created a drinking game for my live shows. Every time I drop a guitar pic, y'all take a drink. So if you hear someone yell "Cheers" and start toasting, jump in on the action.
Exciting things going on.
