About JSM

I started playing music professionally in 1999. Since that time, I’ve played both solo, and with several local groups, in styles ranging from country, to classic rock, to Top 40.

My instrument of choice is guitar - the first paid gig I had as a solo musician was as a guitarist for a wedding in 2005. I also play piano, organ, bass, and drums.

My musical career has taken me to settings ranging from lakeside pavilions and festival beer tents to intimate wine bars and coffee shops, and as far away as West Virginia.

My love of music spans many decades and genres, from 1950s classics to today’s hits - that being said, my wheelhouse is classic rock and 90s alternative.

Every song I play gets my own acoustic treatment, sometimes incorporating a loop pedal or foot tambourine! This creates a performance that feels familiar - but never predictable.

Feel free to throw requests at me! I live by the mantra, “I don’t know everything - but I’ll try anything I’ve heard.” That’s led to some pretty wild covers - everything from Rammstein and Metallica, to Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera!
