Here you will find a selection of my live performances showcasing the rich genres of music covers I love to recreate.
​
I have a few special songs that my fans request at each show which I have included and a little background on the connection of each of these songs.
​
I am especially proud of my original song titled "Movies of the 80s" and am honoured it gets requested at most of the shows I play at.
Enjoy the musical diversity as you journey with me on my musical adventure.
​
Tweeter and the Monkey Man was the first song I learned by ear.
When I play it, both the crowd and myself get caught up in the upbeat vibe and just have a great time.

When I play Someone by Aaron Lewis I get completely lost in my guitar and the lyrics.
Those who know me, know my passion for AFL and his entire catalog runs deep.
The first movie I remember seeing in the theatre was E.T. with my mom.
The song opens with the lyrics "When I was just a little guy..."
Yes, I was the little guy. I remember not being able to see over the person in front of me.
So, I sat "up on my mom's knee".
While writing this song, I had so much fun recalling those epic movies from our generation. Top Gun, Star Wars, Star Trek, Back to the Future, I spent so many hours in cinematic bliss!
​

​
​​I remember when I first started playing the song, one of my co-workers would say,
"Buddy, that's so good.
I can totally picture each of those movies when you mention them.
I love how you put it together."
I'm hoping that others who hear my song can come away with a new forgotten memory.
​
The experience of introducing my own son to the old classics is an on-going pleasure.
Him sitting on me knee (yes, he's the "Little guy on my knee"...(he's not so little anymore lol)) talking about Star Wars and how everyone and everything fits together is a memory that I will always cherish.
​
​
And I ended the song off with the line "a tub of popcorn and a big screen tv."
I want our generation to remember, if we don't take the time to share with the teachings of these classic "Movies of the 80s" that shaped us, helped us become the people we are today,
the new generations of "big screen TVs" (aka modern society)
will lose their resilience of triumph of hope and resilience in the face of adversity
which is what I feel our generation can thank these movies for giving us, back in the day.

It has been a wonderful ride so far and I cannot wait to see
" What tomorrow brings"
