I've spent a lot of my life playing songs on stage. That's really not me boasting haha, but it's the truth. Thousands of songs, over thousands of gigs and you get to a point, you can read a crowd and just know what will work.

The Angels- Am I ever gonna see your face again is one of them. Start singing

Wow, I don't know what happened but somehow my 3rd solo album "The Spark Within" turned 1 year old today. And my gosh, what a journey I've had with the album!

Needless to say, I was starting to get a little "zombiefied" if that's a word, (too much caffeine and not enough sleep!) "Zombiefied but happy" I guess you could say. The album was sounding great and the mixing sessions have

This quick teaser is from one of my favorite tracks from the album "Hurt in your eyes" It's got a cruisy mellow feel to it. Hey, it's not always about being fast and heavy right? ;) Hope you dig it as much as I do! #guitarrock #newrock #rockandrollmusic #rockbandguitar #musicrock

I think 2016 is going to be long remembered as the year we've lost so many great artists. For me, it just made sense to write a song and dedicate it as a tribute to these people that brought so much joy into our lives. "Their Legacy Remains" is the first track from "The Spark Within" due out October 6. Check it out. #musicrock #guitarrock #rockguitar #tribute #2016artistsdeaths
