After more than forty years in the music business I am offering an acoustic show featuring hits from the 1960s and 70s.  Everything is a hit that way everyone can sing along. The show concentrates on real acoustic music, not just acoustic covers of electric rock songs.  I tour across the country from performing from New York to Florida and all points in between, I love my job. I believe a musician should know their music by heart, none my show is read from a iPad or notebook.  My stage presence is one of  professional integrity in looks and sound.
