Troubadour! I perform in restaurants, coffee shops, and lounges. I play weddings, and birthday parties. I can provide ambiance in your retail store. I will play in nearly any private or public event, indoors or out, as my passion is music and I love to share it. I consider my tastes eclectic and describe them as alternative blues adult folk rock. I play mostly tribute cover songs, for now. I am currently writing, and expect to expand my current original music. I enjoy playing a little something for everyone, whether it be old standards or hits of the last few decades. I will gladly entertain on a tip or fee basis in your establishment or for a fee privately. I appreciate your interest.
Had a lovely experience with TM playing for a small gathering. Great selection of songs from the seventies to now, really lovely! I look forward to hearing more in the future. Would highly recommend for weddings, reunions, parties of any kind really!
