Some exciting news! I got an Artist endorsement deal with JHS Pedals!!! They’re an awesome and innovative guitar/bass pedal company who know what pro players want in high-end tone. Not only do they make their own original pedals, they can customize your favorite pedal and make it even better with a JHS Mod..... I just received my first JHS pedal, “The Bonsai”. An overdrive pedal that features exact replicas of the 9 best Tube Screamer versions from the 1970’s to 2000’s. They introduced the Bonsai this year at the 2018 NAMM convention, and it was a total hit. I’m very excited to incorporate the Bonsai into my live rig, and look forward to working with this great company...... www.jhspedals.com #jhspedals #thevervepipe #namm2018 |

Excited to share some awesome news with everyone!!! I’ve officially landed an artist endorsement deal with Marshall Amps. Been dreaming about this since I was a young, eager, and naïve kid who hoped to one day be a pro musician 😁 I can definitely check this off my bucket list.....
Here’s a demo of my new rig (Marshall Mini Jubilee head w/matching 2x12 cabinet), that came directly from the factory in Bletchley, England.... FYI; No effects, just a cable to amp, using a Fender Elite tele w/Duncan lit59 bridge and stock noiseless neck pickups....... #MarshallAmps #ArtistEndorsement #DaddarioStrings #64audio #FenderGuitars

Are you ready for the last weekend of summer!? Well me neither ☹️, but one thing that'll take the sting out of it is rockin' out to a live show this Sat night @ Bells Brewery (Kalamazoo, MI) in a huge beer garden 💃🏼🕺🏻We had such a fantastic time playing there last year, that we have some surprises planned to take it up a notch (and it's not just my amp volume 😏). A few tickets still available..... Also, we'll be back in the Buckeye State for two shows; this Friday @ Music Box Supper Club (Cleveland, OH) - 8pm, and Sunday @ Hensville Park (Toledo, OH) - 5pm...... Let's do this!!!

Back in the trusty sprinter van for a 1800 mile, five day/five show east coast tour w/The Verve Pipe...... Really looking forward to reconnecting with my band mates 🤗 Like; complete silence the entire trip, no one talking to each other, smelling everyone's stench day in/day out, making pit stop's every 50 miles for Channing, watching everyone unsuccessfully try to eat healthy, explaining to Joel that turkey cold cuts aren't part of his vegan diet, hoping Sam changes his clothes at least every other day, praying Wheeler doesn't slam a two liter bottle of Mountain Dew at midnight, reminding Randall what day it is over and over, stopping Brad from being too enthusiastic (he's new), showing concern when Brian says we're losing money again, not freaking out when we think we've forgotten Griff somewhere (he's not even with us on this run)🤦♂️
Oh well, at least we're playing some pretty cool venues, and I can finally get caught up on my reading and deciphering my deep inner thoughts 🎉
* Thursday - Daryl's House (Pawling, NY) - 8pm (yes, Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates)
* Friday - City Winery (New York, NY) - 8pm
* Saturday - Plainridge Park Casino (Plainridge, MA) - 9pm
* Sunday - Steppingstone Theatre (Great Neck, NY) - 4pm (Kids Show) & 7pm (Rock Set)

Though I didn't have any alien contact nor get to investigate any "hot spots" in Roswell, NM. I did get to hear a few story's from the locals, in particular a guy that looked just like Drew Carey 🤔 Oh, and I didn't have to use this piece on anything 👾 All the shows were fun and the fans were incredible. Hope to get out that way again real soon… |

"Area 51" here we come! Well not really, but fun to imagine 😎 Actually, flying out to Roswell, NM w/The Verve Pipe to play some shows and check out the sites 👀 For the trip, I've decided to go as "Mulder" (The X-Files), and think it's fitting that Channing be "Scully". Brian can be "Skinner" 🤣

Excited to be rockin' with the "Brena" band tonight for an 80's themed party at Daybreak Church. I just need to figure out this clothing ensemble (wig too), and locate my eyeliner from '89. Hmm, wonder if that's still good? 😎#relivingmyyouth, #lotsofguitarsolos
