May /June 2011

Recording with my great friend from the UK Paul Jupe

A while back I hooked up with a great old friend, guitarist and vocalist Paul Jupe from the UK, we played together way way back when we all thought we would conquer the world (NOT of course). Thanks to the internet we are doing it all again. Paul was always able to play something simple and bring a lump to my throat. Rhythm, feel, emotion and heart, that’s what it was all about.
This is the end section of Paul’s song “Tonite” vocals still to be finished but I wanted to share this with you all. It sounds real English dare I say! with a touch of Foo Fighters, Whitesnake and Big County (remember them)
It was a great pleasure to work on this track and I hope many more to come, you never know we may all conquer the world again !!! (you never know)

-------------------------------------------------------

Check out my little drummer friend Debby and her band "Actrice" from Florianopolis Basil. She is working hard to establish herself as a pro drummer where she lives and plays regular with her band.

I have a new experimental project with Andres (Sid) Montoya which blends loops, dance grooves and sounds with Rock and Spanish style guitars and drums. We play our first show in Mexico on the 15th May which will be a blast. Its different, and allows us to play interesting riffs and beats around danceable music. I hope to have video of the show on the site after the date and some audio clips..

I'm pleased to add a new endorsement to my great list. Anyone who hasn't laid their hands or should I say "feet" on the amazing HANZENFUTS pedals should do so if you are serious about practice anywhere at anytime.

May 22

Another number of great trips during the last month or so to the UK and Germany.

June 21st ill be doing a session here in France in my town of Beaulieu for the Fete De La Musique which is a big event held all over the country. It should be a fun evening with lots going on so check out the site and see for yourself. Ill be playing to a number of backing tracks I have been working on as well as tracks written and produced by Rick Hale back in the USA.

http://fetedelamusique.culture.fr

All kinds of music / A large audience

Completely different from a regular music festival, the Fête de la Musique is above all a free popular fête, open to any participant (amateur or professional musicians) who want to perform in it. This Music day allows the expression of all styles of music in a cheerful atmosphere. It aims at a large audience, working to popularise musical practice for young and not so young people from all social backgrounds. It gives an opportunity to communicate and share a very special moment through music.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 07

I have been busy working on tracks with loops for solo drum shows. In June I will be playing in the town where I now reside for their Fate de la Musique which is a first here.

Check out my good buddy Steve Kolb

Feb 10th 07 - MIC

SO, After deep deep thought I have decided sadly that our MIC Program has to now take a back seat for a while.

We had a great time with the whole thing and i thank all who were involved and all the students we have me. We believe that positive thought is what life is all about but, It has been so hard to get so called caring people to buy into something good. It seems that bad news and sadness is what people want to hear these days and nothing else (just watch the news) The more difficult it can be made the better it must be, We say "NOT".

We will continue to push the MIC message out with everything we do, and hope that at some stage we will be back to carry on.

Until things change with the media, school boards, so called education councils and specialists its always going to be the kids that miss out due to the politics of suits and ties and "cant do this cant do that".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feb 07

Well once again time is ticking by and the new year has kicked into gear. I'm looking to do some shows in France this summer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

January 07 - well its been a busy three months for me and I've just got back to the house in France after my visit to the US. Much recording with producer Rick Hale, great as usual so nothing has changed there. Anyway, lots to put up on the site over the next week. happy New Year to all. Me and Mark Padillia of Lesmens Music Store in the studio and with Haley Ackerman.

 

With Rick and family, Scott, Sid, Sarah and Haley in the studio

For those interested in investing in "In Ear Monitors" for your music, live or just the old mp3 player - JVC Marshmallow buds $19.95, can you believe?. I checked out all the sure stuff $100 to $300 and these sound the same, I'm telling you. I used them in the studio for the first time and they were awesome.

Special Thanks - to Mitch at Remo for sorting out my heads for my visit www.remo.com

I was able to hook up with Mark Padilla of Lesmens Music Store, always a great pleasure to see what is going on with those guys. So they are just in the process of movie making so ill let you know what and when. I worked on a new website for Haley Ackerman www.haleyackerman.com who has just got a record deal and her new cd cover and artwork.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

October 06

Ok well its been a busy summer so far in many ways now the fall is here there is a little news. I'm back in the US from the 18th of October for a while. I hope to be visiting some old students and a few other fun things.

I have been working on a project via the net with a great artist and vocalist from the UK and other musicians based in Europe. Ill fill in the gaps later but I hope we will be able to get it all together and tour next summer.

There are possibilities of some MIC style events coming up very soon so keep checking back.
