A blend of folk country and Americana, his songs evoke a nostalgia for erstwhile dreams and people, while weaving stories of human longing both past and present. His music has been showcased at Pine Creek Cafe,the Murray Bar, the Filling Station, the Haufbrau, the Chrystal, Wild Joe's, 406 Brewing Company, and Outlaw Brewery, Desert Rose, Neptune's Brewery, Red Tractor Pizza.
