His style often features raw, emotionally resonant vocals accompanied primarily by acoustic guitar and frequently incorporates slide guitar techniques. Lyrically, his work explores themes of working-class life, hardship, and the American landscape, drawing comparisons to artists like Townes Van Zandt and early Bob Dylan. He has released several albums through independent labels and maintains a dedicated following built on intimate live performances.

Stockroom East is a performance venue located within the East Race Neighborhood of South Bend. Originally constructed as part of the Studebaker factory complex – specifically as a parts storage facility – it operated as such until Studebaker’s closure in 1963. The building underwent renovations in recent years to transform it into a space hosting a variety of events including concerts, art exhibitions and community gatherings. It is recognized for its industrial aesthetic and capacity for both smaller, more intimate shows and larger performances. The venue aims to support regional arts and culture while preserving a piece of South Bend’s industrial history.
