My story... I hail from the small town of Lutsen, MN, where I had plenty of time to teach myself how to play the guitar at a young age. Since the beginning, I have worked hard to fulfill my dreams as a nationally acclaimed singer/songwriter earning over 12 million streams as the frontman of my bands Step Rockets and Cryote. As a proud member of the Twin Cities music scene, I regularly play 150+ acoustic solo shows a year entertaining a wide variety of audiences. My acoustic sets are perfect for wedding ceremonies, private parties, and corporate events. My reviews speak for themselves and can give you a great idea of what level of service you can expect from me. Every week I masterfully provide 2-4 hour sets of music and can scale up with a band for a bigger, flashier production. I pride myself on being punctual and dressed for the occasion while bringing an upbeat and professional vibe to events large and small. To get a tailored and memorable experience, I am happy to take requests and even learn a few new songs to make your perfect set-list. Please don't hesitate to reach out to talk more about how we can customize your events soundtrack. I am excited to work with you to create the perfect event.
