Back In The Ring, Rock-ola Style!

I've been slackin' big time on the blog updates. I've been busy in the past few months. I started working at Quark in December, which has been awesome. I missed it. I went to India in January and had a blast. It's such a cool country -- amazing culture, people, food, history, etc. I got to hang out with a lot of old friends and even jammed with a great guitar player that I work with (I brought a little electric travel guitar).

The big news is that I'm headin' back to the stage. That's right, you can see me playing guitar this Thursday night at the Skylark Lounge playing with Joey Fender and the 55's! I met Joey last week -- he is in town for some gigs and is playing with my buddy Mad Dog, the drummer for Paul Galaxy and the Galactix. They saw me playing at Ziggie's and asked me to do the gig with them. It's been great hangin' out with them. This is the first time that I've been a sideman playing rhythm guitar with a band and I'm blown away by how much I'm learning.

I have been wanting to start gigging again and I would like to start a straight-up good time roots rock/blues band. Joey Fender is exactly that. He has played all over the US for over a decade and has gigged with the best -- Buddy Guy, BB King, etc. He also has a great attitude and refuses to quit. It's exactly what I needed to kick my ass back on stage.

So come on by The Skylark Lounge at 140 South Broadway in Denver this Thursday, April 6th at 9pm -- we'll be playing all night. Three sets of burnin' rock and blues.
