ABOUT

I am a solo musician with a tenor voice. I play acoustic and electric tenor guitars (DGBE tuning) as well as an octave mandolin/8-string tenor guitar. My music includes a wide range of songs that span various genres including rock and roll, 80s, country, and pop.

My first original song, "Never Give Up Your Truck," debuted on CBC on August 15, 2023. On December 23, 2023, I played on CFBX my second song, “Black Bear.” My original music can be found on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/your-wave/tracks
