I have many different formulas for live performances from the most intimate solo acoustic guitar to full out party music.
Usually when you go out to hear music, you hear finished compositions. The musicians simply play the music the way it was created. Not so in my LIVE LAYERS performances. I create the music right in front of you. I layer guitars, bass, percussion and keyboards into full ambient chill compositions one instrument at a time, and then I DJ and mix the results. Sometimes the creations are based on rough sketches I’ve created before, and sometimes they take completely unexpected directions. Either way they are always different, spontaneous and affected by your interaction.
I also have the pleasure of mixing these creations with covers of slightly off the beaten track tunes featuring Durango vocalist Erin White, who will send chills up your spine with tunes like Kiss from a Rose, Across the Universe and Daughters. We also have a wide selection of loops from great dance hits that we jam on – sort of a “kareoke” jam and you are invited to come up and sing with us.
Please listen to samples of my live layers below, and enjoy! please email me if you’d like to be on our gig mailing list. Hope to see you soon!
