So the first of four shows will happen this Friday as I traverse up to Randolph, NJ to perform with Supernova. We're playing at Black River Barn, which is a cool place that ALWAYS has a nice crowd. I like crowds. Just don't like being IN them. Would rather play TO them. Got about 45-50 songs on the list so that's a lot of music. Fortunately, the songs are relatively easy but of course I play quir... » Continue Reading

After the four shows I did with the cover band Evolution, I figured there would be a nice long break since this Nov 10 gig in NYC is coming up. Get to chill out, work on TM's songs, hadn't touched them in 10 years. Nope. The bassist from the band Supernova texted me the other day and said "Our guitarist is out with shoulder surgery, so you think you can do some dates?" I like the band, they are p... » Continue Reading

Bet you read that in the French voice on SpongeBob! I know you did. Anyway, yes it's been a couple of weeks since I bestowed another blog for your eyes. So here you go... I have been going through demos that were created since last September (!) and proceeded to weed the "eh" from the "oh yeah". I even composed a couple of new tunes recently. My brain is on cruise control but at the same time, kno... » Continue Reading

It's August 1...what?! Already?!?! This has been the fastest summer that I can recall. Then again, I've been busy and having fun (and busy having fun) so there's that. After a brief run of gigs with Rock Hard and Evolution, it's time to recharge and regroup. The gigs were cool, was nice to do a bit of traveling. Lugging my gear is not something I enjoy doing much of anymore though. Still, when you... » Continue Reading

Back in September 2014, I did a short Germany tour with two music legends: Bassist TM Stevens and drummer TC Tolliver. There was no footage of any shows filmed... Or so we thought. TC sent me this link last night and I jumped out of my chair: TM Stevens Brilon Hold on...we were actually being captured on video?! Apparently so. It's short but you can hear and feel the energy swirlin » Continue Reading

I made a slight error in judgment but in a good way last week. I erroneously said that my "tour" was on hold until July 27. Yesterday changed that. Received a text from the singer of Evolution who asked "Can you fill in on 7.7 at this golf course in Wayne?" Okay so much for my hiatus ;) But I'm always glad when any cover band asks me to fill in, even if it's VERY last-minute. So, yes, I played wit... » Continue Reading

Everyone knows that I joke about "touring" (but I really did a tour in 2014 with TM Stevens!) so obviously I am talking about the recent wave of gigs I did over these past three weekends. My hair and fingers need a break :) Last night I got to play with the cover band Rock Hard at Bardi's, third time there (for me) and it was INSANELY GREAT!! I am not kidding, the vibes were great, the band sounde... » Continue Reading

This past Friday June 21, I filled in on guitar once again for my friend's band Evolution. What made this gig extra cool was the addition of drummer James Bruno! He's such a solid drummer, and when we play together, it's very tight! As a guitarist, I need that. Most guitarists listen to only themselves. The gig was at Westside Tavern in Ridgefield Park, and while the crowd was SUPER thin (12 peopl... » Continue Reading

So I was asked this morning by my friend Eve of the cover band Evolution if I could do a gig next Friday June 21. Hell yes! Now I have THREE gigs this month WHEW!! Glad I stocked up on new strings. I wanted summer shows, I got 'em!! My Titanium Tour Bus is going to get quite a workout. So will my fingers :) » Continue Reading

My last blog was 15 days ago? I am seriously slacking! But when you have nothing new to report, you don't say anything. Now I do! I did a Q&A last Wed with DJ Metal Mistress on The Metal Meltdown. Unlike shows in the past, this was not a typical interview session where I hawked new music or whatever. Though I did mention the June 28 gig with Rock Hard, this was all about shredding guitar live on t... » Continue Reading
