Just a quick note to wish everyone well during these wacky times of 2020! For obvious reasons, there hasn’t been much to update. Gigs that were supposed to happen have been cancelled. As of now, the next show for me is a big outdoor festival in Lima, NY on July 31. Hopefully that will still happen! In the meantime, stay safe!
2020 – The Summer That Was
I’m on board with No Nuts Cymbal Sleeves!
I’m happy to say that recently I hooked up with Bill McFadden of No Nuts Cymbal Sleeves to officially come on board and also try out some new products of theirs! There are many benefits to using the cymbal sleeves, including less dampening of the cymbals as they ring, as well as much quicker and tear down time when setting up!

Podcast/Interview Page Update
I’ve updated the link to my interview from February 2018 with Mick and Jeff from the great Amps & Axes Show. The guys have moved the show to a new hosting company, and so the link is now updated on my Podcast page. It was a great time and we all laughed our asses off!
MERRY CHRISTMAS -HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Wishing you all the best this holiday season – hope to see you all on the road in 2020!

NEW PROMO VIDEO ON MY YOUTUBE PAGE
I’ve just put together a new promo video, which highlights my years with Lou Gramm. Click the link here, or check it out with all of my other videos on my YouTube page. It is available for public use for anyone needing to have promo material for hiring me for a gig. I’ve also uploaded the most recent “Name That Tune” episodes that I’ve been too lazy in posting – lol!
Podcast Interview with Mitch Lafon
I just recently had the pleasure of making another appearance on my buddy Mitch Lafon’s podcast, “Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon”. I appear on the October (released on November 2, 2019) show which features legendary drummer Carl Palmer. Click the link below to check it out. Mitch is great and I always have fun talking to him.

It was a blast this past Friday night to be on stage with my new fun cover band, Forum! We play lots of cool tunes that you don’t hear very often – such as Toto and Rival Sons. Next gig coming up is November 15 in Rochester, NY at Pineapple Jacks.
