Hello!
This website has now been updated and is working again!
I have been travelling as a troubadour for most of my life.
Starting out in 1980 as a One Man Band, I have made a living doing what I love most: Singing, playing and performing for people all over the world on streets, squares and stages, from small parties to big festivals.
These days I have a bit of a „less is more“ approach and focus on the more mellow and pure sounds of an acoustic guitar accompanied with harmonica and my voice.
Thank you for your visit!
