Hey Soul People, today there are two bites of new media to enjoy! First, there is a review of ON THE REBOUND from Minty & The Beeb out of the UK. They saw my solo acoustic set at IPO Liverpool in May. Second, Almost FairyTale Films has produced a short spot featuring yours truly, talking mainly about Huckleberry Finn. Watch it on YouTube . More to come. Keep on dancing and spreading the good word about ON THE REBOUND! Stay cool. Love & Music

Some news to start the new week! My record ON THE REBOUND is #59 right now on the iTunes new release chart ! It appears that it was as high as #47. I'm right ahead of Tori Amos and Paul Simon? What!? Well, thank you fans. Please continue to spread the good word about how much you enjoy this record. I'm very proud of it; and very grateful to you all for your support and patronage. Cause you can dance and look cute helps. The album also got a nod on the Earth, Wind & Fire Fansite due to the participation and collaboration of EW&F trumpeter Rahmlee Michael Davis. His amazing, trademark trumpeting is on a number of key tracks, including So Sophisticated , She's My Go-To and the lead single Your Majestic Rejection . Too smooth. What can I say? Thank you! More news to come. And mark your calendars for that Thursday, Nov. 15 date at Cinema Bar. It will be wild. xo

Last night at the Federal Bar, the jump-off began for ON THE REBOUND. There was a great crowd and a great vibe. The band was introduced by our guest DJ, Richard Blade  who spun the most amazing 80's set before and after. I have to express a lot of gratitude to the amazing musicians, the Inimitables as I call them, for their support. They allowed me to get unhinged. It helped that we were all in our 80s age of excess and extravagance styles. What an honor to share the stage with them and to share a lead vocal with Evie Sands on a classic Sam & Dave tune. The lineup: Adam Marsland (keyboards, guitar & vocals) Teresa Cowles (bass, vocals) Kevin Jarvis (drums) and the singular and legendary Evie Sands (lead guitar, vocals and co-lead on Hold On, I'm Coming ) It was great having DJ Bonebrake (drums), Larry O. Williams (saxophone), and Bryan Farrar (guitar) in the house; even though they did not play. They all contributed a lot to the album. The show featured the wo...
