About Me

How does one describe the Homer experience. Well, it’s guitar, singing, carrying on, fun entertainment. So take a mix of the charisma of Robbie Williams, Frank Sinatra and Freddie Mercury, throw in some wide eyed humility of Garth Brooks, and a reach for the stars attitude of Jon Bon Jovi and that’s the mix I’m striving for. (And often failing to hit, haha)

I started performing when a band called Small Torque used to let me get up and play the one song I knew on guitar with them at their gigs. Since that time I have toured, played, drank or hung out with some of the top names in the business. (See the Photo Gallery)

Over the years I have played at just about every high (and low) profile venue all over Queensland including a year long residency in Weipa as the town entertainer.

Supporting some awesome musicians like the Choirboys, The Radiators, Nik Phillips, Phil Emmanuel and others, I’ve had a grand ole time doing the rock thing, and I hope you can catch a gig sometime soon.
