After a solid 8 months of recording and producing the new Rockit King record…..

After a solid 8 months of recording and producing the new Rockit King record, I’m very pleased to hand it off to Al McAvoy for mixing. It was a hell of a lot of work, but I think this collection of tunes totally represent the band and how we’ve all grown as artists since our inception back in 2001. I’d like to thank the guys and gal of TRK, Jessie Beveridge, Kenny Roberts, Dan Cox, and Karisa Wilson, for believing in my vision and laying down great performances. I’d also like to thank Scott Kuizema, Peggy Pip Keuning, and JAke Gerard, for offering their talents on a couple tracks. You all rocked it! Look out for the new record later this summer……..
