Special Saint Patricks Day Announcement:
I’ll be performing as a part of the GRAND OPENING WEEK of Social Lounge GVL (stands for Greenville) in downtown Greenville, SC on Wednesday March 17th, starting at 9pm! Here’s there new FB Page Linked HERE.
I’m proud to represent the metro Atlanta music scene, and I’m honored to have this opportunity booked through Crest Point Entertainment Group! I’m so excited, and I hope that I can get some of my South Carolina friends to come on out!
Disclaimer: I won’t be necessarily singing Irish songs.. maybe one or two I can pull off.. But I will be doing my thing: 60s-90s rock/pop tunes, taking requests from my 265 song list, and entertaining the crowd!
WEAR YOUR GREEN! Also, we will be doing Irish toasts all night and having a blast!

So.. March 2020 was a very different story.
Last year we were in a very different place around this time period. Many venues were shutting down, cancelling, and postponing events. There was a lot a fear about the virus spreading. My band was right in the middle of promoting for a huge St Patty’s Party, when the event was cancelled the week of! What a mess.. and then, just a week later.. EVERY GIG on my schedule was gone. It was rough!
I want to share a very special photo from the weekend BEFORE St. Patty’s Day from last year. I performed in Rome, GA at a place called Moon Roof Bar. It looks apparent in this photo that everything was A-Okay. But I feel like most of the patrons as well as myself were in “denial mode” regarding the reality of what might hit us. Here, we were pushing forward and making the night happen no matter what!

So let me take a second to be GRATEFUL.
I’m grateful for all my work picking back up. I’m grateful for my friends and fans that stood by me that whole weird time during all the shut downs and quarantine. I’m very grateful for those that pitched in a little money for virtual tips during my online “live” performances. And here in 2021.. I’m grateful that we all have the chance to get back out there.. SAFELY OF COURSE.. to celebrate life, enjoy music, and push on.
I want to mention Crest Point Entertainment one more time to end this blog post. Angela and Drew Ashworth have been AMAZINGLY SUPPORTIVE in my career and booking efforts. They are responsible for booking me at the Moon Roof, from the photo above, where I had this very rememberable experience that I captured. AND.. because of that experience, when it came to booking me for a St Patty’s Event.. they remembered this experience and thought of me to represent Crest Point and Atlanta music in Greenville for this year’s event!
Lets make Atlanta proud and take our energy and excitement to Greenville and show ‘em how we do it!
I do wish that I could celebrate with my Atlanta friends and fam, but it’s an honor to be chosen for this. And getting a chance to play as a part of the Social Lounge GVL GRAND OPENING WEEK… that’s pretty cool too.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone!
Greenville, SC.. see you Wednesday, March 17th, 2021 at Social Lounge!
