Setlist

Singer song/writer

Depends upon venue/event, but often will perform some songs from my CD (many songs on CD are uploaded as mp3 into my EPK) plus I always like to do some of my new songs and sometimes I will do covers or well known songs that the audience can engage with.

I usually work as a solo artist, or occassionally work with a band.

Performance always varies as per above outline and amount of time allocated
