About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a singer, songwriter and guitarist. I am live east of Austin and play everywhere from Catfish Night at Maxine's in Bastrop to Happy Hour at the historic Driskill Hotel. I am starting to travel farther to play, including dates in Fredricksburg. I will be looking for couch surfing situations in a 100 mile radius of Austin so I can go out an play 2-night engagements.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
