What to expect at one of my shows; I might start out with some slide guitar,then play a few originals that could something like kick-stompin' blues or reggeae bluegrass.Progressing into a mellowing folk style,and then climbing back into danceable tracks that could be more original,or some well known covers done my own way.Switching it up a bit to keep the audience wondering ''what 's comming next?'';but, always remembering to play what the crowd is feeling at that moment.
   I also like to have a wide variety of accompanying instruments ranging anywhere from harmonica to mandolin,digeredoo to hand drums,bass to rhythym guitar,anything to keep the jam different from what it was before,but still keeping a part that everyone can remember and call thier own.
