The venue was changed to the Hard Rock Cafe for this competition due to the rainy weather. Just a heads up. Hope to see everyone there!

I'll be competing in the finals for Alice Cooper's talent search on Tuesday, Dec. 8th at Cooper'stown. The winner gets to open for Alice, as well as Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, at the Dodge Theater! The competition starts around 6pm. I would really appreciate the support if you can make it down!

I wanted to share some great news with you: my band will be delivering our debut performance on public television next Monday, Nov. 9! Channel 12 News [NBC] is featuring us on their Midday Show! We'll tape the show in the morning and it will be aired from 1pm-2pm so please tune in.

I was also selected to compete for the chance to open for Alice Cooper at the Dodge Theater! I'll perform next Tuesday evening [6 pm] at Cooper'stown in downtown Phoenix. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

We were also invited to perform at a high-profile artwalk at Su Vino Winery in downtown Scottsdale on Thursday evening from 7-9! It's presented by Artisan Markets.

We end the week on Saturday night at Madcap Theater with our benefit concert for the Boys and Girls Club of the East Valley [proudly sponsored by SER Soundworks and featuring our friends Haven James and No Longer Together!]. The Club's VP of Development is going to be taking the $5 cover at the door. If you're going to make any of the events this week, this is the one I ask for your most support on. I'd like to make this benefit concert a yearly event and it's success is extremely important to me. 100% of the door and raffle goes directly to the Club. "Beanie" Wells personally donated an autographed football for the raffle!

Hope to see you there!!

Ear Candy Charity and Roger Clyne selected my band as one of four finalists invited to compete for the opening slot for the Peacemaker's Halloween concert at the Marquee Theater!

We'll compete this Friday Oct 23, 2009 at the Sail Inn around 10:45pm. A great deal of what we'll be judged on is how many people come to see us. The $10 cover proceeds go to children's charity.

Hope you can make it! We would greatly appreciate your support!!

Hi. Got some cool news. I'm putting together a benefit concert for the Boys and Girls Club Of The East Valley with 100% of the ticket/cover charge going directly to the Club. It will be held at Madcap Theatre down in the heart of the Mill Avenue area and I'm very happy to say that I have the B & G Club's direct involvement with the project. I'm also glad to mention that my friends from Random Karma and Haven James will be performing as well.

We'll be raffling off some cool items to help raise money for the Club at the event. So far, I have an autographed football from Chris "Beanie" Wells of the Arizona Cardinals! I'm also working on getting some more donations/sponsorships.

If you could please mark your calender and come down to help us raise money while we all let the good times roll, I know many families here in the Valley would really appreciate your support!

Hope all is going well for you. Feel free to email me if you have any questions : )

Hey! Thanks goes out to everyone who showed up to our show last night! We had a blast! And the acoustic set at the end, as unplanned as it was, turned out to be a personal highlight of the evening.

More band news: Randy and I going into the studio tomorrow to record the drum and rhythm guitar tracks for our new album! I am so psyched.
