The artist

About

Oregon guitarist and composer working the seam between Blues, Rock, and Jazz — singing lines, fiery solos, and a tone that sits as well in a club as on a festival stage.

From hometown rooms to big stages: originals, reimagined standards, and moments that stretch. Catch him exclusively solo at River’s Edge in Grants Pass — and with The Rogue Suspects for Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Blues, Aretha, and ’90s dance that won’t let the night sit still.
