About Ian
Just a small dream...
After 6 months of my own band, 4 years of another, and 19 years in another, I decided it was time to attempt a more low-key project where I could be available on the fly, get out to network with others, join other projects in the music community if needed, and just enjoy what I do again. If you have a passion to do something, get out and do it! Don't question the outcome! Just do what you love, and the rest will fall into place!

Attention Grabbing Vocal Work
6-years of semi-professional vocal training with 20 years of singing for various projects has allowed me to develop a unique style that is great for the smallest coffeehouse to a full stage.
Simple, Low-Key Setup
Having a small solo setup means flexibility for your establishment. I can be on a stage, in a corner, or wherever you decide.
