ABOUT

I have been a Livermore resident since 1985, and with the support and encouragement of my wife and best friend Nancy, a member of its vibrant music community since 2009.

I perform primarily as a solo artist at venues such as Cuda Ridge Winery, Wood Family Vineyards, Del Valle Winery, Dustbowl Brewery, Pall Mill Winery, and Pruett Farms Winery. I also perform at private parties and fundraisers. My repertoire consists of my early influences such as the Beatles, 60's - 70's acoustic rock, and the singer - songwriter genre such as James Taylor, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, and Jackson Browne. I have expanded music styles to include folk, pop, country, theater, and jazz. I will perform a few of my original songs from time to time.

I was honored to be part of the legendary Tri-Valley band "Tommy and the 4 Speeds" , and performed with the nine member band annually from 2009 to 2019 at the summer concerts at Pleasanton's Wayside Park.

I have been thankful to perform for nearly two decades with my daughter Audrey, an extremely talented musician and accomplished vocalist, and in recent years, her husband Dean Austin Mayor, another wonderful musician and saxophonist. Their influence helped to expand my repertoire, and provide a different musical and wonderful experience. I have to be patient as to when I ask for their assistance, as they take care of their amazing young daughter, Evangeline,

My son Ben and his wife Claire Henderson can be sighted via occasional cameo appearances at my performances.
