ALL ACCESS LIVE: Mike Skill
Mike and I have shared the stage many times over the years, and this cat has been an influence on me far beyond the lighted stage. He’s a seasoned pro from Motown, and has been releasing new music of his own over the past several years, in-between successful tours with The Romantics. Come get candid nostalgic with Mike Skill and me:
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Terry Finley
Terry is a badass tour manager and all-around gorgeous human being. He has managed Night Ranger, Chicago, Little River Band, Pat Benatar, Bryan Setzer Orchestra and many more (including the legendary Dan Reed Network). He’s seen the ins & outs of the music industry from the front and back of the stage, and I’ll chat with him about those experiences, and how he finds serenity back home in the Pacific NW w/ his lovely wife and crazy goats!
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Phil Buckman
If you hadn’t fallen in love with Phil Buckman’s deep pocket onstage (with no shirt on) playing bass with Filter, Fuel or Petty Cash, or swooned over his characters on Boston Public or City of Angels, then you DEFINITELY grew fond of his inimitable voice behind Carl’s Jr. and NBC News. We’ll chat about all of that and more this week!
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Geoff Metts
You have seen Geoff as the singer/guitarist of Western Aerial, Metts, Ryan & Collins and Ants in the Kitchen, or bought guitars from his award-winning Five Star Guitars, but the story of Geoff Metts goes much deeper. Come dig in and share some bandwidth with a business visionary to see how he’s been able to adapt to changes in the industry.
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Katja Reickermann
This gal will knock your socks off. She’s been a regular in the session world of LA for decades as the go-to sax player for the biggest names in the biz. We first met during her tenure with Rod Stewart & have recently reconnected when she joined my pals in Wang Chung. From her appearances on Star Trek Nemesis to her performances with Scorpions, we will unearth stories that you won’t want to miss!
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Joel Stevenett
Joel is not only a phenomenal drummer, known by many fans for his impeccable Rush tributes, but is also a first-call session drummer for video game soundtracks! We are going to chat about the importance of relationships, and how they can form a path for greatness in all things.
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Glen Sobel (Part 1)
You might think you know Glen’s rock pedigree from his phenomenal work with Alice Cooper and Hollywood Vampires, but there are SO MANY levels of progression in Glen’s rise that may have slipped through the cracks. We’ll talk about that stuff, his boundless energy of performance and education while touring, and everything in-between.
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Jennifer Batten
Sure, you know her from her tours & videos with Michael Jackson. You might have caught her touring with Jeff Beck, too… but there is SO MUCH going on with this beautiful human.
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Josh Thompson of Wang Chung & Cutting Crew
A live conversation with drummer/songwriter/beautiful human Josh Thompson of Wang Chung and Cutting Crew. Tune in here to listen in on our conversation.
ALL ACCESS LIVE: Jason Fellman
Jason is a booking agent/drummer/businessman friend of mine that fascinates me. I wanted to share Jason’s wit with y’all, as well as discuss a program he created to develop business marketing skills via poker principles. I’d love to have Jason answer any questions you might have (no limits! Sorry… poker terms again).
