Busy Week

Yo! I'm coming up on a HUGE week of music with some really killer players. Not only am I doing my usual thing with Umphrey's (with three sets!) but I'm with some of my good friends in Johnny Derp and participating in the awesome madness that is Brooklyn Comes Alive. 

I would absolutely love for you to come join us so, let's talk details...

Johnny Derp is playing with DJnoDJ at The Emporium in Chicago on Fri, Sept. 22. It's FREE and starts at 9:00 PM. 

Umphrey's McGee is rocking Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island on Sat, Sept. 23. Tickets start at $35 and we're playing THREE sets to make up for our rained out show at the venue earlier in the year. 

Last but absolutely not least, I'll be playing with Mike Gantzer (Aqueous) and Stasik at Brooklyn Comes Alive. We're going to be doing another Dookie set, like at Summer Camp, but with some surprises. We're doing it big for Brooklyn! This event always sells out and is incredibly unique, so if you want to come, grab tickets now! Tickets start at $75. 

Event information and tickets can be found by clicking over to the "Tour" page right at the top of this website so just bounce on over and check it out.

Dookie, anyone?

Mike Mirro - Concerto for Double Moon

My friend and late-Umphrey's McGee drummer Mike Mirro's final record, Concerto for Double Moon by the Pneumatic Transit, is an incredible piece of art. When I heard this album it was clear to me that I had to do my part to spread the word and try to tell people about it the best I can in homage to Mike as a musician and friend. Thankfully, Modern Drummer agreed in the sheer awesomeness of Mike's work and allowed me an interview and review. Check it out below and thank you for listening:
