January 2012 Welcome to the "News" page. I hope you all had a festive holiday season full of love, family, and many blessing! After a needed, quiet January comes to a close, the "season" really takes off. At the end of January I'll be backing on of my childhood favorites, Don Rickles. I grew up watching him on the Johnny Carson show, and the Dean Martin Roasts. I'll be in a small big band, backing him on stage. I understand the he takes no prisoners, and the band is often the target of his jabs! Its my dream to have Don Rickle take a couple of shots at yours truly! We'll be at Wild Horse Pass on January 28th. The Renaissance Festival kicks of on February 11th. My group, Fiesta Brass, will be acting as the house band for the Feast, doing two shows a day. Its a riotous, 5 course mead with nonstop acts. I book and coordinate 10 brass players on Festival days...always busy. I'll also be playing Art Lebow's Love Jam at Jobing.com Arena, backing Heatwave and several other R&B groups on February 17th. March is already crazy busy with just under 30 gigs already booked. Along with the Renaissance Feasts I'll be playing for Phoenix Theater's production of Gypsy. I believe this will be my third run of Gypsy. It should be a fun blow with a terrific trumpet section, including Dave Coolidge (lead), and Bruce Gates. Thanks for visiting! |
