This is a show for fans of Folk music, Country AND Western, Americana, Rock and Blues. More importantly it’s a show for fans of hybrids of those genres, Folk/Rock, Blues/Rock, Folk/Metal and those who are always open to hearing something new. I will be playing everything from traditional acoustic folk songs that date back hundreds of years but which modern artists have re-interpreted to songs in other languages and tracks that borrow from artists and blend styles to create whole new exciting music.
