Hi there. Popping back in here to give you all an update of what I've been up to since ending Rob Thomas' tour. I've been doing a lot of studio work. I did a day of recording guitar with Gwen Stefani for her next solo CD. What a blast. It was a great song, very 80's. (Think Duran Duran or Cyndi Lauper) Tony Kanal (No Doubt Bassist) was producing. They were both extremely cool. We recorded at Electric Lady Studios (famous NY studio where Hendrix recorded) I got to use the "Hendrix piano" as well. Also did a couple of songs with Tracy Bonham for her new ep. Just did a few tunes with Ari Hest for his forthcoming CD as well. Watch for all of them. They're all great records! I've done some gigs with my usual bands here in NYC (Marwood, James Katz and a new singer Alec Smith) Coming up I have a small tour with Ari Hest (check my myspace page for dates) and possibly a CMJ show with Paul Doucette's Break And Repair Method. Stay tuned for info. As always I'm making baby steps towards finishing more of my own tunes as well and I hope to have some stuff to show you all in the not too distant future. Oh and hey, that online fanclub chat thing last night was so much fun. Thanks to all who attended. One more thing, 2 CDs I'm obsessing over right now: 1.) Mike Viola "Just Before Dark" and 2.) The Weepies "Say I Am You" Pick them up if you can. I love them!! Hope to see all you guys out there some time soon. Stay well
