About Us
I’m a musician; composer, guitarist, and educator with touring experience from Nagasaki to Sun Vally. Recordings include About the Day by Lonnie Mardis and Celebrate World music produced by Burmer Music, all available at CD Baby. Looking for performance opportunities. I have much experience in classical, jazz, blues, world, and popular music performing solo, with groups and as band leader/conductor.
How We Got Started
Started a fascination with the sound of the guitar at an early age and never looked back. First public concert in the fourth grade. Tours in US, Japan and Canada.

Do your homework: be real about what you do and then investigate all possible venues in your chosen area where you might perform. Before making contact find out all you can about a venue in terms of what music has been presented there (to see if you line up with them), who the contact people are, who has performed there in the past, and any other information you may deem pertinent. An email to the appropriate person/s may be the best way to contact initially: ask for a phone conversation regarding your intentions and THEN present a promo pack for them (well put together and online preferably). Be patient and respect their time.
