Thank you for taking time to view my application for your Festival and/or Music Venue.

I am a Canadian singer/songwriter from the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. My most recent EP, “Threshing Room Floor” is a crossover blend of Rock, AAA, and Alt Country. I perform both as a solo artist and with a full band. My sound is best described as “Nashville-meets-Coldplay” with hints of Steve Earle, Kings of Leon, and Chris Stapleton. Despite the lack of live music options in recent years, I have had a steady trajectory of success as a recording artist and my album was nominated for Best Rock Artist in the 2023 Western Canadian Music Awards as well as charting in the Top 200 NACC (North America College and Community radio charts) in June of 2023. My performance at your venue will include several original award winning songs and co-writes, and unique takes on familiar classics. You will find me professional and extremely easy to work with as we want your event to be a success! 

Recent highlights include:

-Nominated for Rock Artist of the Year in the 2023 Western Canada Music Awards.
-Over 1 million streams across Spotify, Itunes, and YouTube.
