He's appeared at the Hotel Cafe, The Peppermint Club, The Levitt Pavilion (with American Idol's Nick Fradiani), and BMI's Acoustic Lounge. The Huffington Post recognizes his sound as "intoxicating," and his love letter and tribute to Philadelphia, "City of Love," was recognized by the Philadelphia Phillies Mayor Jim Kenney.
