About

"Whatever vibe the room desires."

35 years of performing. Dozens of touring bands. Multiple studio albums. And a genuine ability to read a room and deliver exactly what it needs — whether that's jazzy and understated, rootsy and warm, or something that quietly fills a space and just makes people feel good.

What I bring

Jazz

Standards, originals, bossa nova. Elegant background music that rewards attention.

Groove

Fingerstyle funk and soul. Keeps the energy alive without overpowering the room.

Acoustic

Folk, pop, singer-songwriter. Warm, familiar, and deeply listenable.

Lounge

Smooth, sophisticated, effortless. Perfect for cocktail hours and fine dining.

Rootsy

Blues-inflected, earthy, real. The sound of a musician who's been around.

Weddings

From the ceremony to the last dance. Classical, romantic, and elegant.

Originals

Fingerstyle compositions that stand completely on their own. Music that stays with you.

Ambient

Textural, unhurried, atmospheric. Music that transforms a space without demanding attention.
