New CD, GRAVITY, release date May 10, 2008 is my latest album. This album consists mostly of vocal songs and marks my debut as a singer. This is a departure from my typical instrumental records that I have done in the past. Of course I had to throw in 3 instrumental songs on there. This new album features amazing musicianship from guest players, heavy guitars riffs, lots of shredding licks that shredders will hopefully appreciate, catchy vocal hooks and most of all kick-ass rock songs.The CD was created with the help of several of my friends that are very well known musicians such as; Mark Zonder (drummer from Slavior & Fates Warning), Ron Wikso (drummer from Gregg Rolie, David Lee Roth, Richie Sambora), Wade Biery (bassist for STILL, Leanne Rimes & Christopher Cross), Erik Eldenius (drummer for Low Millions, Billy Idol, Jackson Browne) and John Cardoso (drummer for East of West and most of my previous recordings).
