KENEALLY KOMEBACK: It has been way too long since I did a gig with my dear friend and genius artist Mike Keneally, and I'm a-fixin' to fix that on June 22 in San Diego. It will be especially exciting as a new drummer (Nathan Raney) is taking on the Keneally challenge (and it is a challenge!). Ticket link in details. You know what to do, Keneally faithful!
ANDOR. Maybe it's because I'm so firmly Gen X, maybe not, but either way, just, wow.
BLUE VINYL: As I re-enter the home orbit, I thought I would be a good little capitalist and re-mention that my progressive solo concept album “Scenes From The Flood” is available in **blue vinyl** in general release (code word for Amazon). It’s also up at my webstore at *my name dot com then click SHOP*. (Take that, algorithm!) Direct web stores are a great way to support independent artists, but people love Amazon and that’s fine too! (See below for a list of guest artists. There's a lot.)![]()

A lot of folks picked this up on the recent Aristocrats tour, and others simply wanted to let me know what a big impact this album has had on them. I’m really grateful to everyone for their support of this work. ![]()

And I *may* have some new solo material in my head, which I *may* start working on soon. 😉 ![]()

BREAKING THE TAPE (crossposted from The Aristocrats: It’s difficult to put into words what it feels like after a marathon tour like the one we just completed. So much happens, every day, one day after the other. It all blurs together. But one thing’s for sure - we couldn’t have done it without the folks you see in this picture, who worked much harder than we did. ![]()

So here’s a huge thank you to, in the bottom row left to right: Eduardo “Disco” Baldo (drum tech), Andres Zuniga (guitar tech), Kevin Zingale (merch manager) and Dimitris “Happy Watermelon” Karpouzas (FOH/monitor sound engineer)…and at top left, the one and only Kris Claerhout, our tour manager for the entire 11 week run, including the Asia and Australia shows before we got back to the States. We’re grateful to them all.![]()

Now, we’ll rest up before returning to South America in August. We haven’t been there in nine years. It’s about time.![]()
