In this acoustic setting I cover songs by many of the artists I have been fortunate enough to play bass with over the years, or have opened up for. Such as The Rankin Family, Buddy MacDonald, Gordie Sampson, the Barra MacNeils, Bruce Guthro, Dave Gunning, Johnny Cash, Sting, and many more. I’ll share some stories along the way and I use a loop pedal to bring my groove skills, developed through my experience as a bass player, into creating loops for the songs. I fill out my set lists with covers of popular songs. I can adapt my show for a pub, a quiet restaurant, or a classy concert setting.
