I am a lover of classic pop rock songs, these songs inspired me as a youngster to learn how to play the guitar. I like my performances to be authentic and genuinely from the heart. There are no gimicks or backing tracks just the power of a voice and and the guitar. The greatness of these songs bring us together, help us share common ground and enjoy ourselves. I believe what makes my act incredible is this shared experience, be it passive, relaxed and listening or active involved and up lifting. I think in my sets there is something for everyone to enjoy. I know all my songs by heart. Some acts use a phone to play a song and read the words and chords. I do not allowing to focus on the people at the event. I have nearly 20 years of experience as a professional musician. From busking to being a signed act. From weddings to cruise ships. I've played pretty much everywhere. I'm new to Encore and looking forward to providing you with the best quality at your event.
