I am a solo acoustic guitarist/singer/harmonica player with a wide range of songs allowing me to cater to several types of audiences. My job, simply put, is to entertain. I have been at this for a long time and have never lost sight of the fact is that entertainment must be well rehearsed, fun and add value to the venue/event whether it be a bar, restaurant, celebration of life or a charitable cause. I use a looper on a few songs so I can play lead guitar to get things going. If the venue wants just acoustic, I play lead using a classical guitar. If the place really want to rock, I will play lead using electric guitar. I have a mailing list that usually can bring 10 to 20 people to the venue depending on the location and other factors and hoping to build a rapport with folks at your event(s). This is a work in progress.
I have been in many bands over the years, but my 11 years in power trio cover band TMinus1 from 1990 - 2001 is worth mentioning. I was the lead singer/lead and rhythm guitarist/harp player and had regular gigs at many of the bars in Dracut, Hampton Beach, Fitchburg, Manchester NH, Lowell etc.
What sets me apart from everyone else is that I play rhythm left handed and lead right handed. My right hand was dignosed with movement disorder focal dystonia in 2001 so I switched to playing guitar left handed in 2016. Long haul and long story but here I am back at it after essentially starting over. More on this some other time. Check out my YouTube channel to see what I mean…..
Oh - and I have learned to sing properly through vocal lessons and just plain steady, deliberate effort - a lifetime endeavor as it did not come naturally. Because - what else was I gonna do :).
I look forward to working with you and your team!
