He is an engaging performer who educates his audiences as he entertains with a varied program of traditional music.

Many of his influences come from commercial recordings of the 1920's and 1930's. He is a solo performer, a musician with two dance ensembles (the FiddleKicks and Rhythm in Shoes), has made guest appearances with several touring acts (Tim O'Brien, Uncle Earl, The Wilders, Crooked Still), and is an active teacher.
