Austin's Most Eclectic Folk-singer
Austin, Texas
I'm a singer-songwriter-guitarist; I've played over 850 gigs in and around Austin in the past three and a half years, and I’d love to come sing for you! I can play 40 minutes or 4 hours with equal verve, as well as provide and run my own sound. I'm professional, presentable, punctual, and personable.
As an original act, I have over 50 original songs: they mostly sound like if Jason Isbell’s rustic Americana and Matthew Sweet’s jangly power pop had a lovechild that grew up on the Counting Crows. My debut solo album came out in 2017, I released several EPs since, and have a dozen or more new songs just itching to be recorded and released. I’m at my most comfortable onstage, telling jokes and singing songs and keeping an audience spellbound. I’m energetic enough to hang alongside full bands, and gentle enough to play with the softest fingerpicking folkies.
As a covers artist, my book is over 1200 songs deep, ranging from oldies and classic country to 80s and 90s rock to contemporary Americana and pop. My favorite song to play is “the song you forgot you loved”; I can play all the big obvious tunes that everyone plays, but I also know (and tend to prefer) the second- and third- tier hits that are just as familiar to the ear but heard far less. My most treasured compliment is “I love your setlist! No one ever plays those songs!”, and I get it after most gigs. I can smoothly chase Hank Williams with Taylor Swift, the Gin Blossoms with Duran Duran, and the Rolling Stones with Chris Stapleton. I can accommodate most requests (if I can hear it in my head even a little, I’ll take a crack at it), keep a crowd engaged with unpredictable song choices and witty banter, or I can sit back and just provide a soft tapestry for folks to vibe with and chat over. I always aim to play the room and the crowd, whoever and however they are.
