Gen Con 2024

Gen Con Indy is the gaming convention of gaming conventions. For 50 years, Gen Con Indy has set trends and broken records. I'm thrilled to back in Indianapolis for another great convention.

I have several shows planned each evening. If the events look sold out, it is very possible that some folks won't turn up at the events. So if you want to attend, bring generic tickets to join us.

I am also performing at several of the busking stages AND I'll be roving around playing music. Those dates will be posted soon.
