Just Started Playing Live Again — Now Booking House Concerts, Festivals & Private Events

Hey there,

I just started playing live again after a good 18 months away.
And I didn’t take that break by choice.

What do they say… Life is what happens while you are busy making plans? — an illness took my voice and left me with vocal nodes, then came a fractured wrist… and just as I was recovering, I fractured my tibial plateau. 

I had to stop. Everything.

When you’re offstage for that long, you wonder if you’ve forgotten how to do it. Not just the songs or the tuning or the banter between — but the actual showing up. The leaning in. The being there.

Guitar in hand. Voice floating free.. Room full of people.

The First Gig Back

It wasn’t perfect. I stumbled on a lyric or two. But once I found my footing I remembered:
This is mine.
This is what I do.

There were laughs in the room. People swayed in their seats.
That unrepeatable magic of live music came flooding back.

Booking for 2025–2026

If you’re looking to book a performer for a house concert, festival, private celebration, or listening-room-style event — I’m now booking for 2025 and 2026.

Whether it’s solo (just me and a guitar), or a small ensemble setup — I bring 8 albums worth of songs, decades of live experience, and a performance that’s intimate, real, and unforgettable.

Original music. Select covers. Custom requests if the gig calls for it.
PA provided if needed. Based in Canberra — available nationally.
