Hard Rock was an awesome show last week! we were really excited to play and had an excellent turnout. June is going to be a very big month for the band as we have some great new shows coming up as well as getting started on the radio and promotions push.
Lots of great shows coming up. We are headlining Hard Rock Chicago May 19th at 9PM…so just a couple weeks out now. I’ll be playing that show with my four piece band setup! Citizen Bar has been really picking up momentum on Wednesdays, so please stop by if you are ever in the River North area. We just put some shows together in Iowa and Minnesota for June, and have two festivals coming up, one being River North Festival in July.
Stay tuned and be sure to check the new music in the music player!

In the last couple of weeks I really have been able to put down some new songs to the point where I can record some scratch tracks. Songs can take 1 day, sometimes one year to finally develop. Being a guitar player first..I seem to always have new riffs that just need some lyrics, however lyrics are the hardest part. I’ll be posting some new videos in the next week which will hopefully feature some of my new “in the works” tunes. Keep checking the site as I upload new material, photos and blog posts
Thanks for stopping by today

Busy week! wow! Lots of shows and they have all been great so far. I’ll finish the week up this evening at Lindy’s Landing, which I am really looking forward to playing. I’ve been playing my D-50 Guild acoustic guitar all week and have really been diggin’ it! My other Guild is an F-47 model that has always been my go-to acoustic, but the heavy resonating body on the D-50 has really got my attention this week. I guess that’s the reason guitarists have so many guitars…they never really sound the same as the other. I’m starting to pack out my schedule for April so stay tuned for both full band and solo acoustic shows!

St. Patty’s Party -
Saturday I had the opportunity to play an awesome party out in Naperville, IL. Huge stage, huge tent (and thankfully heaters) and a ton of people turned out. My favorite song of the night was actually when we played “Sultans of Swing” by the Dire Straits. This has always been one of my favorite tunes and I had the band learn it specifically for this party. What I love about doing covers is making them my own. We picked up the tempo quite a bit on this one and it allowed me to play all sorts of different guitar fills and solos. Overall, it was a great show and early celebration!
