I am a professional musician based out of the Richmond, VA area.
A few formats I can perform in:
1) solo acoustic guitar - The standard solo acoustic guitar singer/songwriter with a harmonica. tMix of originals and covers or just covers. I do a lot of fingerpicking interpretations of popular classics (especially from the 60s-70s). Great for chill background tunes!
2) one-man-band (americana/blues-rock) - I play kick and snare with my feet while delivering a powerful and diverse set of songs on both acoustic and electric guitars.
3) full band - americana/rock/blues/funk/psychedelia/jam trio available for the right price!
Happy to learn a few songs on request if possible!

These are some of my most played cover tunes in my memorized repertoire, arranged in reverse chronological order. I also have an hour and a half of original music that can be mixed in (or not!).
A lot of these are my own kind of re-interpretations
