Giving me the opportunity to work with many different artists in a wide genre of music.  Finding myself either helping others to write songs or just writing them for other people.       

   Eventually leading me to write songs for myself. Trying to it take on the challenge of attempting to write each song in a specific style. Each one becoming  its own unique composition. Finding myself with a large number of songs in a various variety of styles. I wanted to record and perform them live. Taking a focus on the different ways that you are able to present a song. 

   Recording main objective is to have the highest sonic quality and the best single performance you can record. To achieve this I tracked with a limited group of musicians who I have worked with in the studio throughout my career.  Allowing me to retain a certain level of continuity on the tracks. 
   
    With the music containing the elements of Roots Rock/ RnB/ Psychedelic Boogie Woogie/ RocknRoll/ Louisiana Blues/ Memphis Shuffle  turns the live performance into its own  style of party. Using the songs as a guide map  to improvise and expand. Allowing the musicians to build upon the rhythms with heavier intensity. Creating an exchange between the performers and the audience. 

   I reached out towards musicians with the versatility to execute the diversity needed to perform the songs. Players with the ability to improvise within or around any structure. For that I turned to longtime friends:
                           John Ewing (Drums/Vocals) - Johnny and the Moles/Reptet
                           Mark Lerro ( Guitar) - Johnny and the Moles                           
                           Brian Ray (Guitar/Vocals) - StingShark/Marmalade                           
                            David Applbaum (Keys) - SpaceOwl
