Greetings from Gothenburg!

IMG_8612-1Hello from rainy Sweden where I’m about the play show #36 of U.D.O.’s Decadent World Tour tonight in Gothenburg. The tour has been excellent so far, with shows in Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, The UK, France, Spain, Austria, and more. The band is killer and getting tighter every night and I’m making some great friends in the process. We have 10 shows to go with a few more in Sweden, followed by Norway, Lithuania, and Finland. Then I’m very happy to say that I’ll be returning to the stage with Doro and the band for a few shows at the end of May including the Rock Hard Festival before I resume my keyboard duties with U.D.O. as we rock festivals all over Europe all Summer long including the holy grail of festivals, Wacken on July 31 with the German Military Brass Orchestra. Keep up with all my tour dates on the SHOWS page and thanks for your support!

The Quiet After The Storm

With DORO Live at Alcatraz Festival, Belgium, August 2013

After an amazing Summer and year playing shows and festivals all over the world with Doro, I am finally home.  The memories I’ve made and experiences I’ve had this year are completely unparalleled in my life and I want to thank the entire Doro family for bringing me on such a wild ride.  From Europe, to Russia, to all the incredible festivals, and of course, Wacken, I can’t even believe what I’ve just been a part of.  I can’t wait to get back to it in October and beyond.

But for the time being, I’m very happy to be home in the US and setting my sights on some projects that have truly needed some love while I’ve been away.  Mainly, I’m very happy to announce that I am finally back at work on the new Earth Minor album, which is significantly closer to being finished than I’d realized, so you can look for a release some time in early 2014.

Stay up to date on the release at http://www.earthminor.com and at our Facebook page.  And stay tuned for lots of pictures and videos from my travels, coming soon to this site.
