Here's the deal.....
I've played music for many years, in bands as well as solo. I'm now retired, and recently returned to playing music in public. My wife and I have only recently moved from Washington State to the Coachella Valley for retirement.

I've spent the last couple years putting this show together as a one man band of sorts. I have a small studio in my home, I play instruments and synthesizer and perform and record 100% of my own accompaniments, backup vocals and harmonies. I incorporate percussion, brass, strings, woodwinds and other instruments to achieve a sound that is like having a six or eight piece band in the house! I record onto computer via studio quality interface and software, and then live, sing and play guitars with that. I can record over 30 different tracks per song. I don't use that many, but I have many songs that have 12-15 tracks. I also perform a handful of songs without accompaniment, most with acoustic guitar and harmonica. When performing, I play 3 guitars for variety, 6 string acoustic/electric, 12 string acoustic/electric and electric guitar.
I currently perform over 200 songs (adding more all the time!) so more than enough to play a 2 night gig with little or no repeats depending on the crowd.
