I am a one-man country cover dance "band" simulating the sound of a full 6-man troupe via digital audio support. I specialize in 80s-90s prime country tunes from artists like Tim McGraw, George Strait, Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Travis Tritt, Kenny Chesney, Keith Whitley, Brooke & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Alan Jackson, Steve Wariner, Randy Travis and Brad Paisley. I throw in a smattering of line dance tunes and pop classics to boot, all wrapped in a 2-hour uninterrupted show. Perfect for any club or event looking for an affordable country cover dance act.

I currently perform a 2-hour, uninterrupted country dance show that includes lots of two-steppers, a few line dance tunes and a smattering of golden oldie pop classics. I am fully self-contained with my all my own equipment, including a PA system that is very adequate for small to medium-sized venues. A small dance floor is a great idea to have, given the nature of my show. I will arrive about 1 hour early for set-up and will clean up and move out within about 1/2 hour after the show.
I am fully self-contained with my all my own equipment, including a PA system that is very adequate for small to medium-sized venues. However, I do not bring any stage lighting with me, so if desired that must be arranged otherwise.

I keep the music going for two straight hours, no breaks, so you can listen, dance or just enjoy it as backdrop for conversation.
I am a lifelong singer-songwriter-guitarist, having penned more than 400 songs in my life. Although born and raised in Austin, Minnesota, I have lived in the El Paso area for most of my adult life. My 2011 EP "Worth the Wait" is available on iTunes, emusic, amazonMP3, Rhapsody and Google Play.
I was the PA announcer for the El Paso Chihuahuas baseball team in their 2014 inaugural season.

In total, I will do about 35-40 songs, all but 10 of which will be country two-step or slow dance tunes. Specific country set lists change all the time. There will be about 4 line dance songs (that I won't sing during) and the remainder will be pop classics such as Fire & Rain, I'll Have To Say I Love You (In a Song), For What It's Worth, Peaceful Easy Feeling, etc.
