Just a small snapshot into the last decade+ of performances throughout Michigan and Illinois.
 WeddingsIt is such an honor to be asked to be the soundtrack to the start of a couple's lives together. If you would like me to play for your ceremony or cocktail hour, please contact me for more information. |  Main Street Market: September 2018This was the last time Main Street Market was hosted at Midway Village. Because of their continued growth, they now host their event at the Boone County Fairgrounds. I am honored to have played for the first 10 MSMs. |  Record Store Day: April 2018Culture Shock has been kind enough to let me play for the early morning line for Record Store Day since 2017. Culture Shock is one of the biggest advocates for Rockford and local businesses (on top of being a great record shop with snarky gift options). Culture Shock is located in Rockford, IL |

 Baci's: March 2018Baci's has become one of my favorite places to play since starting a family in 2016. It's an earlier evening so my wife can bring our kids to watch their dad pursue a passion. Baci's is located in Rockford, IL. |  Rockford City Market: June 2017If you're in Rockford at any time from May-Sept on a Friday night, Rockford City Market is where you'll want to be. I have played there at least once a season since 2015. City Market is located off of Water St and State St in Downtown Rockford. |  Uncommon Ground: May 2015Uncommon Ground is thankfully still open.

 Nelson Elementary: April 2015As a little break from standardized testing, Miss Holliday's 3rd graders learned a little about looping and where to find songwriting inspiration. And no elementary school performance is complete without a little of Adam Sandler's "Lunch Lady Land!" Nelson Elementary School is now closed and set for demolition. |  Toad Hall: RSD April 2015Proud to be able to play for my favorite record store on Record Store Day. Toad Hall has been open for more than 40 years and is still alive and well (located in Rockford, IL). |  Teddy B's Grand Opening: March 2015Disregard the guys looking bored. They tipped nicely and purchased a couple CDs. Teddy B's is now closed. |
 Something Blue: March 2015Sometimes I play at people's weddings. Sometimes I also play at bridal shows, like this one located at Prairie Street Brewhouse in Rockford. |  Rockford Art Deli: June 2014Some of my favorite people own this place. You can get your fair share of Rockford swag at Rockford Art Deli in Rockford, IL. |  Main Street Market: May 2014I was honored to play for the first Main Street Market at the historical Midway Village in Rockford, IL. I am the only performer to play for the first 10 Markets. |
 I used to have long hair.It's shorter now. |  Kuhnhenn Brewing Co: August 2009This was the last time I played at Kuhnhenn before moving to Rockford, IL in 2009. Kuhnhenn is alive, thriving, and has since expanded. Worth noting: I miss their hefeweizen. Also worth noting: that's not my guitar. |  Evanston, IL: October 2008Part of the only "tour" I've done...so far. This place is now closed. |
 Redford, MI: August 2008This coffee shop was a common stomping ground for me in 2008. Unfortunately, this coffee shop is now closed. |  Sherwood Brewing Co: November 2007Located in Shelby Township, MI, Sherwood Brewing Company has been one of my favorite places and was a common stomping ground for me and my guitar in 2007-09. They have always been very welcoming and kind to me. I am thankful that Sherwood is still alive and thriving. I miss this place. |  Hatchy's: April, 3, 2007This was my first solo performance/showcase ever when I lived in Michigan. Hatchy's is now closed. |
