OLDER NEWS
Just back from a wild week in Memphis. Got to perform a few times, meet some great people, and even got an article written about me in the local paper...
Recently in Utah, I managed to meet up with HAL SCHNEIDER (original singer/drummer/songwriter for THREE ACES & A JOKER, who laid down the GREATEST party song ever in '59 - BOOZE PARTY!) Hal came to our show and joined us on stage for a wild rendition of his hit, and we even got together the next day to record 2 songs he wrote back in the day but never recorded himself - they are GREAT tunes and will hopefully have some more news to share about this soon! For now, enjoy this clip of us jammin in Ogden, UT!
