He and his band  perform songs such as:

EVERYONE COMES FROM SOMEWHERE: A welcome song for immigrants, honoring my own immigrant roots.

HOPE IS HARD TO KILL: Written in the aftermath of the 2016 election, as an antidote to the hard times that followed. This catchy, rocking tune acknowledges tough times we've had before, and shows a fighting spirit that won't give in– "Everyday, I fight, to keep my hope alive!"
