Welcome to Tropzone's homepage!
Hi! Glad you could stop by.
I am a singer-songwriter playing what is known as Tropical Rock music in the style of Jimmy Buffett. 
Recent shows include a year and a half at The Bahama Breeze in Tukwila, The Steilacoom Pub,
Jillians in Seattle, The Sloop Tavern in Ballard, The Tacoma Country and Golf Club, Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club,
Roche Harbor Marina and Resort, Tiki Joe's Wet Bar in Kirkland, The Quinault Beach Resort and Casino,
Red Winds Casino in Olympia, Chips Casino in Lakewood and Bremerton, Tacoma Yacht Club,
Fox Island Yacht Club, The Harbor Inn in Gig Harbor and at The La Palma Lounge in Lakewood.
The year 2008 also marks my 5th Summer playing outside on the deck at The Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor
every Sunday afternoon.
Corporate shows include Bayliner, Tiara Yachts, Chris Craft Owners, Bluewater Yachts, Ocean Alexander Yachts, Puget Power,
NW Aeronautical Technologies and Franciscan Medical Group among others.
When I'm not working at my day job as a yacht broker for Sunset Yachts, I spend my spare time fishing for the
elusive salmon, photography, sailing, gardening and writing music... and of course, performing that music.
I am also the Membership Director for the Parrotheads of Puget Sound which is an officially chartered member
of the national Parrotheads in Paradise organization (see links below).
I am available for clubs, bars, house concerts, private parties, weddings and also corporate
events.
email me for more information, availability dates or just to say hi!
