Stage Plot
example of typical set up
For a typical solo set with no P.A. I need a space of about 5'x5 and an outlet for my amplifier. It is best if I am bout 2 1/2 to 3 feet away from a wall. I have worked with less though. If you need vocals I will need about a 10'x10' space for the amp and PA system. I usually bring my own chair, but any armless chair will do.
Typical set lists
I play lot's of different genres of music. Here are a few of the most popular songs I play. Click the Blue link for videos and the White ones for info on the composers.
