It's really nice to be back out with David Sanborn!. David sounds better than ever. The band is SMOKIN'! All the boys are back and man do they sound great. Me on keys, Gene Lake on drums, Nicky Moroch on guitar, and Richard Patterson on bass. Click here for dates.

I'll be touring with David for the rest of the year starting on the West coast (with some Stevie Nicks dates sprinkled in-between.)

Speaking of, The Stevie Nicks gig has been one of the best tours I have ever done. I am having a great time playing with all my good friends from the early days. Waddy Wachtel, Carlos Rios, Lenny Castro, Jimmy Paxson and Al Ortiz! I am also thankful to have a fellow Minnesotan on the gig! Jana Anderson is singing background vocals along with longtime friends of Stevie's, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks. They all sound beautiful! I can't wait for the next gig! Love you all! Stevie.... You ROCK!

I'm on tour through the rest of the year so COME ON and HANG!!!

Talk Soon.....God Bless

Hey again!!

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers for my sister Patty and our extended Family. It was quite the journey and thank God she's doing great!

I'm in LA with Stevie Nicks for a summer tour with her. We just got done playing the Greek Theater for two nights and she totally sold them both out and all I can say is Stevie.... You ROCK! I am having a wonderful time playing with all my good friends from the early days. Waddy Wachtel is the MD and guitar player and Carlos Rios is playing guitar too so you know it's SMOKIN'! Lenny Castro is on percussion along with Jimmy Paxson on drums. Al Ortiz is playing bass and I can only say that this rhythm section is one of the best I've ever played with! NO DOUBT! I am also thankful to have a fellow Minnesotan on the gig! Jana Anderson is singing background vocals along with longtime friends of Stevie's, Sharon Celani and Lori Nicks. They all sound beautiful! I am Honored to be here ! Thanks everybody. The dates are posted. Please come and see us. We'll be out until mid July.

Just want you all to know that my CD is so Close........ But yet.......

I would love to thank everyone for all the love and prayers sent to my sister Patty and her Family! And our Family too! Patty is out of the Hospital and at home recovering. She is a Miracle and is up and around and amazing everyone! God Bless you sis and everyone who sent their love! Thank you for her Life.

I got to work with the voice I have always loved. Phoebe Snow still sounds amazing and we got to write some really great music together. Keb Moe was a part of it as well as Alan Abraham's and Vinnie Caliuta. I am looking forward to finishing that in April and getting it out as well as mine! Congrats to all the Grammy winners. I'm so glad I got to be a part making the music.

I would love everyone to send out love and prayers to my sister Patty who is in the Hospital and her family. Patty went through major surgery last night and is recovering well.

Thank you all very much.

I'm on my way to CA to work with a person and a voice I have always loved. Phebe Snow is doing a new CD and has asked me to come and work with her and her team at "Do Rite Records." I am looking forward to that like you can't believe!

I want to also congratulate John Mayer, Steve Jordan, George Benson and everyone on winning their Grammys. I'm so glad I got to be a part making the music.

I'm still in the studio finishing my CD. I'm looking forward to finally getting it done out and out there so we can groove!

Man, am I excited...
