The Sammys (Holiday Inn Resorts) Hard Rock Live, Orlando
This is something we do every year, around this time. A Gala event marking the awards ceremony for the best performers with Holiday Inn Resorts - every year the organizer, John Sutherland, outdoes himself! This year
West Wendover, UT & NV – The Guess Who
I've played this place before - with these guys. In fact December 2014 was the last time they were here, and I was playing in the band. Well, we had our usual meet-up and dinner (steak
Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, Riverside IA – The Guess Who
Bleak & desolate doesn't really describe it. But this part of the world in Mid-Winter is not very hospitable. That said, this is a nice place. I had a nice dinner with Will, Derek and
Dallas “Sellebration” Event – Holiday Inn Resorts
This is quite an event: similar to the annual Sammy's event we do (in Orlando) every March. Multiple artists, each playing their greatest hits. Luckily (for us) most of these people have played with us
Lincoln City, OR – Chinook Winds Casino – The Guess Who
30 Jan: Arrived in late the night before, just in time to eat with the lads. Our rooms are right by the windswept beach. I've stayed here before, with John Jorgenson, in the early 2000's.

West Palm Beach South Florida Fair – The Guess Who

Golden Nugget, Las Vegas NV – The Guess Who
Great way to start the year. Playing the newly refurbished Golden Nugget. As always, we flew in the day before. They've done a great job of renovation: The rooms are well-appointed and the lobby is
Bergen, Norway: Rocketman show
So, I find myself in downtown Bergen, after 3 tough days of rehearsals out in the beautiful (what I saw of it) Norwegian countryside, about 30 miles south of here. The show is complete with
Wisconsin, Lake Of The Torches Casino
Sound check for tonight's show: Orleans & Firefall at Lake of the Torches Casino, in Lac Du Flambeau, WI. We all somehow managed to get here, despite yet another winter storm threatening flights, connections etc.
Musings, coffee time
After the euphoria of last night's amazing showcase (Scott Stepakoff) has died down, I find myself with the usual hangover: not literally, but figuratively. I am sitting at Crema, in dowtown Nashville, drinking my (wonderful)
