JOSH WARD BAND'S "SENT ME YOU" HITS #1 (Posted 4/30/13) Josh Ward's current single "Sent Me You" has hit #1 on both the Texas Regional Radio AND Texas Music Charts. Having the #1 song on both charts simultaneously is a rare feat. Congratulations to Josh and songwriter Scott Brown!

NEW DRUM VIDEOS IN THE WORKS (Posted 12/11/12) Mixing is now underway for OP•AQ•UE's debut album entitled A Moment to Liberate, and I will be working on putting together some new video footage from the studio sessions. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this new musical awesomeness, as the record should be completed VERY soon. Until then, check out my samba! NEW ORIGINAL PROJECT ANNOUNCED (Posted 9/18/12) I am pleased to announce a new project I am working on with Bill Sanchez called Archetypes. For all those that were fans of CETERUM, this will be right up your alley. You can find and "LIKE" Archetypes on Facebook HERE. There is new music on the way very soon, so stay tuned! CETERUM MINI TOUR RECAP & NEW VIDEOS POSTED (Posted 6/1/12) Last weekend's mini tour with CETERUM was a great success! Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and helped out in any way. Special thanks go out to Derek Yo, Chris Burnsides of Sleepers Awake, and Lou Gallo of Fever Vein for allowing me to bang on their drums over the course of the three day run. Playing such rhythmically intense music on three different kits and setups in three days was challenging, but these guys made it possible, and they were extremely accommodating. Thanks a bunch, fellas! I have also completed two new drum videos. In an effort to showcase versatility on the drums, I recorded a cover of country star Keith Urban's song "You Gonna Fly", along with a playalong to "the Architect", which is the opening track from the CETERUM record. The latter is posted below for your viewing pleasure. Plans are underway to record more videos in the near future; in keeping with the versatility theme, the next few videos will most likely feature another CETERUM song, a jazz demonstration, and a latin playalong. More updates to come! UPDATES, UPDATES (Posted 5/15/12) It has been a good while since any current news has been shared, so in an attempt to catch up, here goes...... I will be recording audio and video footage this week for some more drum videos that I have been wanting to put together for some time now. I will also be working to complete transcriptions for songs and sections that have been frequently requested. Rest assured that updates on all of this will be coming very soon! Next week the focus shifts as I will be rehearsing and preparing for the weekend's round of shows with CETERUM in support of Fathom. This trio of shows are the first in over a year, and it is unclear at this time if/when additional performances will be scheduled. Translation: if you are in Columbus, Clifton, or Cleveland, don't miss out! RECAP FROM OP•AQ•UE SESSIONS (Posted 1/11/12) Tracking for OP•AQ•UE's forthcoming debut went EXTREMELY well last week. The final tally was 12 songs recorded in little over 7 hours. Thanks to William Sanchez, Jim Stewart, and Adam Korbesmeyer for a memorable session. I am anxious to hear the final product! In time, I will be producing some playalong videos that will feature actual footage from the drum tracking session, but this won't be until closer to the album's completion. Stay tuned! |
