I’ve come to understand by doing this for awhile that, first and foremost, its my job to entertain people. People work hard and are out to get loose, have a little fun, connect with family/friends and by golly hear some good live music. I get lots of requests and do my best play as many as I can. From Zach Bryant to John Prine, Eagles, Petty, Jack Johnson, Blues, Bluegrass, Country old and new, Grateful Dead, Phish, Dave Matthews, Dylan, Croce, Fleetwood Mac, Smashing Pumpkins....and on and on. Also, however, people actually enjoy my originals a lot also. Because they’re quirky, funny and relatable. Songs like The Red Brick Road all about the death of the Wicked Witch and life in Munchkin land, Mosquito, nothing brings folks together like a common enemy and Say Bye To Gloria a tune to be sung to the worm when you put it on the hook. All about growing up fishing, following Gnome tracks, smoke bombs, looking for BigFoot and looking for lizards and frogs in the spring house. I am an entertainer foremost and as challenging as it can be I do it cuz I love it!
