Easily one of the most influential and inspiring drummers in our generation, Todd’s been the man behind the drumkit for Styx for over 20 years. Voted #1 Progressive Rock Drummer in 2018 by Modern Drummer, of COURSE we’ll be chatting about touring, recording and playing drums. But Todd’s got a lot of irons in the fire: a successful online instruction method, a new solo album, and numerous recording projects and online appearances. Join us live and chime in on the chat as we go “backstage” with All Access Live!

The iconic Headbanger’s Ball MTV VJ and I shared a rare in-person live appearance on All Access Live from Happy Rock Inn in Portland, Oregon. Riki and Lea Vendetta (world-famous tattoo artist) are riding their motorcycle cross-country to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Disease (www.rikisride.com). Traveling more than 10,000 miles, their goal is to raise $20,000 through donations on their journey. We’re talked the history of MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, Riki’s journey through the heyday of the Sunset Strip era, how the industry has changed and how he’s weathered the storm while bringing attention to worthy causes. Happy Rock Inn is THE stop for musicians traveling through Portland, and does a ton of charity work for the community.

One of Montana’s most treasured rock legacies, each member of Jeremy Scared proved their worth in later projects, but as the grunge era broke the Northwest wide open, these Montanan rockers inspired a whole generation of musicians and fans, myself included! Scared’s legacy lives on through All Access Live!

Tony Starlight (formerly known as Brett Kucera) is a cultural icon in the Pacific NW. Founder of The Tony Starlight Showroom, Tony pays homage to the crooners of the “good old days”… Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc., along with tributes to Neil Diamond and other vibey characters. We’re gonna rap “backstage” about going to high school together in the sleepy town of Bozeman, Montana, his life outside of character, and how he keeps magic in music that makes people feel good.

Edgar and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, he’s done it all! Every time I hang w/ Mike, he’s brought much-needed laughter and enjoyment to my life.

Matty is one of the biggest music fans I’ve met. His heart is behind SO many artists, and has dedicated much of his time to interviewing people (imagine that!) that intrigue him. Matty has worked with stars of all kinds: musical, athletes and corporate, and has found balance with that pursuit, fatherhood, and a true spirit to assist the progression of artists he believes in. We talk honestly and vulnerably about Alzheimer’s and his commitment to combating that disease.

Greg Kirkelie’s playing warms the heart and moves the spirit. I was blessed to share a band with Greg from 1994-1998 in “On a Llama”, where we forged a path in the pursuit of global stardom and recognition. Fans know Greg’s sound to evoke semblances of Andy Summers and Alex Lifeson, but I hear a depth that sounds like none I’ve played with. He’s an accomplished sound architect and scoring musician, and has a fun and unique path to lead him to where he’s at today.
