It's going to be a busy one this weekend with both of my regular sub gigs giving me the call. I've got two shows with my Frontiers friends on Saturday: Banded Peak Brewing in the afternoon then over to McMahon Stadium to play the Stamps game. On Sunday it's jazz time with the Wednesday Night Big Band at Dickens. The Decibelles will be joining us with some amazing vocal tunes. Hope to see you there!

 It's been a while since I've posted. Which, of course, means that I've been far too busy to look up.

Two book projects are in the works. One will be officially announced very soon (it's set for a November release). The other will be a little longer before it's ready to share.

I've got some upcoming gigs too. I've been playing with Rev. Frank and the North Stars for a few months now and look forward to more gigs into the summer. I'm playing with my Frontiers friends on Friday, May 9 at the Inglewood Night Market. The Wednesday Night Big Band has asked me to fill in for their vocalist extravaganza Sunday June 8 at Dicken's. (Don't worry, I'll be filling the bass chair not singing.) There's also a little DC coming up, too, but it's a private function.

That's it. The plate is full and all is good!

The next podcast is live. I've been a huge fan of Mohini Dey since I first heard here tearing it up with Stu Hamm at the Mark Bass booth at NAMM in 2018. Clearly I'm not alone, as she's taken the bass world by storm since then. Check it out here:

Take a trip with me down to South Texas to check out how virtuosic bassist and guitar player Nick Cañas has used his raw talent and internet savvy to get his music out to the world. Check out the page here or listen below.

It took a while for Joey Lauricella and I to connect and chat about the rest of the Fodera story. But, it was worth the wait. Check it out. Not only was able to pin down Joey at the NAMM show, Mike Bendy, Fodera's director of sales and Marketing joined in the fun. I hope you enjoy.

Very excited to be head down to NAMM once again. My first NAMM was in 2003. A lot of life has transpired since. I've put together a little page with highlights from NAMM past and a look forward to Anaheim later this week. Check it out here.

I had a lot of fun turn the mic toward Jon Liebman and putting this episode together.

Check out all the details here. And don't forget to click the links at the bottom of the page to go directly to a new free course he's put together.

​I hope you enjoy;

Had so much fun 'heading back to school' and digging into some classic big band charts. Had a great night at Dicken's Pub putting the pieces together and look forward to the next one. Check out the details here.
