Setlist

Most of my music is original Instrumental and combines a variety of flavors, from Flamenco to mild acoustic rock, and a bit of blues and a combo of jazz fusion thrown in. I do some original vocals in blues, and Americana and some tasteful covers in my own style, as well as instrumentals. All of my original material is copyrighted, ASCAP.
