I had a fantastic time this last week at the Vacaville singer-songwriter competition. The judges liked my song “Glory Days” so much I took 3rd place amongst all the finalists this year! It’s always nice to get some recognition for my work, and it felt incredible to play on stage in a performance theater. Overall, a great event with a lot of high quality musicians.
It’s been a great past couple of weekends! Earlier this month I played at Putah Creek Winery on the 13th and 14th for the 2nd Friday ArtAbout and Valentine’s Day <3 <3 <3. The turnout was fantastic and people really enjoyed themselves both nights. I somehow even ended up playing a romantic song for a couple who decided to get married right then and there! Quite unexpected, but incredible to be a part of that nonetheless.
Then this Saturday night on the 21st I played at Woodstock’s Pizza for a fun beer drinking pizza snacking crowd. The atmosphere was lively, and it made for a really fun show!
So that’s the update for now, but if you haven’t been able to make it so far, come check out one of my upcoming performances at Root Stock Winery in Winters this Friday, or at Stonegate Country Club on March 6th! I’ll keep you all posted with more info!
I wanted thank family, friends, and the good people of Woodland who showed up to offer me their support for my unplugged acoustic session at Common Grounds Coffee in Woodland this last Friday! It was a blast playing an unplugged show for the fine ladies and gents of Woodland who happened to stop in for some entertainment. I was really glad that I got to play almost solely originals for this show, as I really got to show off some new songs that I’ve been working hard on. Also I want to give a huge thanks to Common Grounds Coffee for hosting me for the evening!

I wanted to give out a big thanks to Turkovich Family Wines for having me provide live music and creating such a fantastic Saturday night! I had a great time entertaining guests and was really happy to see some people dancing to “Jingle Bells”! Also the surprise visit from Santa was one of the best parts of the night. Check out some pictures below!
Hey everybody! So I’m going to be providing entertainment at Turkovich Family Wines in Winters, from 6-9pm this Saturday, Dec 6th. Stop by and relax with fine wines and small platters this Saturday and support a local musician!
If you are feeling charitable, you can bring in an unwrapped new toy to help support Turkovich Toys For Tots and make a child very happy this Christmas. I hope to see some familiar faces there!
