Never again will I use the words “hiatus” or “break” ever again! HA! Aside from one weekend in August, I’ve gigged EVERY weekend since July 31st. Pretty staggering for someone like me. Might not be a big deal to some of you but lest you forgot, I used to gig a lot between 2015-2019 withContinue reading “NEVER AGAIN”

Last Monday I received an FB message from Louie of Evolution asking if I was around for a double-header this past Saturday. I turned down the first gig which was a private party in Port Jervis (which got cancelled anyway) and said yes to playing at Blackjack Mulligan’s in Woodland Park. I was supposed toContinue reading “ONE BREAK COMING UP?”

The first pic is from Friday’s gig with Supernova at the Beacon; the second is from Saturday’s show with Rubber Duckie Riot. I forgot to take gear pics at the RDR show because…well, I just did. But these are proof that I rocked out this weekend! Two times the noise…more noise, more fun! Let’s startContinue reading “TWO TIMES THE NOISE!”

No judging my choice of fuel for the show last night!! That waffle friggin’ rocked 🙂 As silly as this will sound, getting to finally play Shortways Barn in Hawthorne was truly awesome. Yes I toured with TM Stevens and accomplished great things but why am I so happy to have played this room? IContinue reading “BRINGING MSG TO YOUR TOWN”

That first pic is how the week started: a saddle for the G-string cracked in half as I was checking the tuning?! I’ve had Pinkie (my RG7420MC) for 25 years and while it’s had its share of issues, I have never ever seen anything like THIS before. Seeing this fall apart right before my eyesContinue reading “HOW IT STARTED…HOW IT ENDED…”

Two shows in a weekend and still I survived! Definitely feeling it this morning but that’s all part of the job. Right? Supernova played Charley’s Tavern this past Friday and it was interesting. The humidity was thick, the air was dense, and it made playing and performing a bit of a hassle. Our hands wereContinue reading “BRING THE NOISE!”

Wow we are nearing the end of July but fret not, there’s still more summer to be had. This has been a great summer and year overall for me, even with the setback of my alternator draining my wallet. What are ya gonna do? I know what I’m doing!!! The dates above are for AugustContinue reading “ONE WOULD THINK…”

“But I thought you didn’t want to be in a band anymore?” I’m as surprised as you are. But as they always say, it’s when you’re not looking that things open up. And you can either deny yourself the opportunity or embrace it. I chose the latter. Four years ago I was asked to joinContinue reading ““BUT I THOUGHT…””

First time playing The Beacon in Lake Hopatcong and while some things change, some things still stay the same. What did I walk into? To start, this was more of a restaurant with a bar than being a bar that served food. Okay fine with me. For some reason, it reminded me of when IContinue reading “THINK FAST!”
