What was the first gig you played?

The first gig I ever got was in my hometown “Auburn” when I was about 14, I would play Cafe Delicias right off the freeway two times a month.

What is your favorite part of downtown Sacramento?

I love all the Theatre companies in downtown. I’ve had the pleasure of performing at Capital Stage in a Cabaret, as well as seeing many shows there.

What are you looking forward to at Concerts in the Park?

Just being able to perform in front of new faces and to make new friends/fans, and playing right in the heart of downtown is a really neat idea.
