Readings & Performances

Solo spoken word

The room goes very still

My solo readings are precise, unguarded, and fully present. I bring a body of work drawn from my own history — healing, lineage, survival, and land — and deliver it in a way that clears the room of distractions.


I'm an experienced stage performer who has played intimate literary venues, large theaters, and outdoor events. I adapt the set — length, pacing, and content — to the context of your event.


I can serve as a feature performer, a headliner, or an opening act. If your event has a specific theme or topic, I'm happy to build a set around it.

What I need from a host

A working microphone and PA system

A clear stage area or performance space

Confirmed audience seating or standing room

A point of contact for load-in and logistics

Starting at $350

Rate scales with set length, event size, and travel. A five-minute festival slot and a 45-minute headline set are priced differently — I'll work with your budget once I understand the engagement.

Based in Minnesota. Available regionally and nationally — travel is welcome, not an obstacle.
