About Me

I have been a guitar player since I was 8 years old and I have enjoyed performing music for others for over 5 decades!  My first great guitar, a Guild D-40, was purchased in Huntington, New York in 1979.  I still have that Guild and it is one of the best sounding instruments I have ever played and has been joined by other 6 and 12 strings, classical and electric guitars.

 

I started performing when I was around 18 years of age. Singing the songs of James Taylor, Paul Simon, Loggins and Messina, John Denver, the Eagles, Dan Fogelberg, and so many others helped me to make lasting friends in school. This was also how I met my wife in college. For years, I performed at many bars, colleges, restaurants, open mics, and happy hours.

 

It was an honor for me and a tremendous opportunity to have taught music in a Howard County, Maryland school for many years. I am retired from teaching now, but it was there that I was introduced to many newer artists from Pop, Country, and Motown music. Many of those artists and their songs have found their way into my song repertoire, along with a variety of genres. A few of the contemporary artists whose music I play include Ed Sheeran, Christina Perri, Colbie Caillet, Jason Mraz, John Legend and Alicia Keys.

 

I would love to be able to perform at wineries, breweries, bars and restaurants, cocktail hours, corporate events, private parties, festivals, senior centers, and at whatever occasions may benefit from contemporary and nostalgic acoustic music. I have my own sound system so there is no need to be concerned with that aspect of your event. A touch of class and a tasteful ambience will accompany each performance. Professionalism is always at the forefront of any performance. I thank you for considering me as your entertainer.
