About / Biography

I was brought up on classic country hits and these have been the background music of my life. I have been playing guitar for 40 years, my style is fingerpicking. I enjoy bringing classic country ballads to new audiences. Some of my songs are decades old but stand the test of time, demonstrated by people of all ages singing along and enjoying my sets. I have played in a variety of settings, from audiences listening intently to being background music
