Don is known as a songwriter, but has a history of Rock and Roll and Rythm and Blues. Memphis was his home town, and he takes pride in the influence that Memphis has had on his style. He takes great pleasure in singing the Rythm and Blues favorites, and Rock Hits that people seem to want these days in most establishments, along with his own songs, that become audience favorites.

Don will play from Buffett to Beach Music, George Jonest, to Journey, Bob Seger to Sam and Dave. In most situations,Don likes to play the favorites of the audience first, but his original songs are the kind that audiences will request to hear again, and those audience freindly songs are what sets this act apart. Don is comfortable, and experienced in small or large concert situations. He loves house concerts, and venues where he can feature only his own material. ( He has a lot of songs, with a lot of variety in the list )He is aware that the audience is still paying attention between the songs, and that the evening, though musicial, must have entertainment value throughout. It's not hokey, it just has to be entertaining.

Don was recently presented with the Peoples Choice award for Favorite International Performer, by the fans at the Canberra Country Music Festival, in Canberra, Austrailia.

Setlist

SET LIST; We can play the 45 on 15 break format, but frankly, we like to hold a crowd if we can, so if the management doesn't mind, sometimes we will play extended length sets.
If we are in an original music venue, we will of course, be playing our own songs, in concert style. Where the idea is general entertainment for a general audience, we will play mostly the classic hits that we all love.
