Hi there my friends,

​I don’t know about you but I’ve already lost nearly $30 million dollars on the stock market so I need the gigs!!!

I'm also still hoping to raise some money on the GoFundMe record appeal so please check that out if you haven’t already. 

THE BIG NEWS however is: the announcement that I'm joining the Counting Crows on a six week European tour beginning Sept. 21st in Brussels and ending in London Nov. 1st. What do you think of that my friends ?????? Check out my website or Counting Crows for all the cities and dates! ​

In the meantime I'm gearing up for my early summer European tour but there are plenty of gigs here before I leave starting with My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY on April 26th.

In other news; my solo acoustic Masterdisk vinyl only album is getting close to a release date . My first ever solo recording. Containing 12 songs including "Another Life", "I Can’t Settle", "Once There Was a Boy", "My Old Neighborhood" and many more. Recorded beautifully by master engineer Scott Hull and presented in a top quality vinyl pressing. Something I’ve never done before! And, my new album of all new material is coming together wonderfully thanks to producer Steve Greenwell who’s really making the best album with me everrrrrrrrr!

There’s even more extremely exciting news but I'm keeping it on the DL for now. But rest assured, you’re going to freak when you hear. And you know im not bluffing! 

​Best wishes,
