Material:

Musical sets have been known to contain songs (in rapid-fire succession) by the likes of:Beatles, Rolling Stones, CSN(&Y), Pink Floyd, David Gray, Jayhawks, Elton John, Foo Fighters, Eric Clapton, Eagles, Jane's Addiction, Allman Brothers, Pete Yorn, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Sting, Al Stewart, Who, Pearl Jam, Jackson Browne, Talking Heads, Sublime, Traffic, Tom Waits, Genesis, Van Morrison, Doors, James Taylor, Aerosmith, Badfinger, Collective Soul, Jimmy Buffett, Kinks, America, The Band, Jethro Tull, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, Drifters, Mike & the Mechanics, ZZ Top, Mark Knopfler, Hollies, Crowded House, ELP, and the Occasional Original . . . 

My Work Ethic:

Besides the fact that I perform because it is certainly "Fun" and I definitely enjoy doing it, I also take it Quite Seriously from the standpoint of the Venue Owner/Manager hiring me.

If I'm scheduled to "Start" at 9, I'm there at 8 to set-up and assure that everything is properly Tuned/Set. I Start On-Time, and tailor the Pace/Material according to th'Crowd that I'm playing to.

I Generally play Two LongSets with a ShortBreak in-between (unless instructed otherwise by Management).

My Success hinges on the Success of the Venue, and that accepted "Partnership" is the basis of my steady & repeated Bookings.
