Thursday, August 10th, 2006

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

My long time friend/collaborator/bandmate, Patrice Pike is one of the 15 finalists on the new Rock Star Super Nova, a new-band formed by drummer Tommy Lee with bassist Jason Newsted and guitarist Gilby Clarke. She is a slamming singer and performer and I’m sure she will take America by storm. I’m glad she has this [...]

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Such a colorful weekend. I play tonight at Momo’s with Jade Day and tomorrow with Blu Sanders. I’m playing the ol’ doghouse bass with both of them with lots of bowing on both gigs. Jade has been a weekly gig for the past month or so, but it’s been years since I’ve played Blu. He [...]

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

We did a co-headlining show at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island with LifeHouse. I always forget that Matt is so big in the North East that a University would booked us us on a co-headlining show with a band that has several huge singles. I guess it goes to show how a grass roots [...]

Another engineering gig

Monday, February 20th, 2006
