I have 100 shows ready to perform and over 400 songs in my repertoire including jazz, blues, show tunes, country and American Songbook. Please take a look at my SHOWS and REVIEWS if you are looking to book a show. I have an extensive background in management and producing, so I bring a high level of professionalism and work ethic when I am hired to sing, produce or teach. Please hang out and explore my site and contact me directly should you want to book a show or hire me to produce an event. I usually travel with my band (see below) but am completely charted if your venue has their own band/orchestra. I can also offer an Cabaret Class.
