Howdy Memphis Friends--I'm excited to share that I'll be doing a rare solo set at The Cove's Honky-Tonk Night along with Big Barton next Saturday, 5/16. 7:30 showtime. It's where rock and roll began!
Specifically, Memphis is where my friend Matt Timberlake now lives and he's the dude who first taught me about how to rock and roll. While we were in high school, Matt invited me to join his band, The Fuzzbuckets. It was my first time in a band and we had some pretty memorable gigs. We even won a HS Battle of the Bands. Matt introduced me to the Flaming Lips. And to Man Or Astro-Man? And to the New York Dolls. He also wrote some killer originals, rocked a sweet Gibson Les Paul, and even though I was just playing trumpet and keys and occasionally shouting along, it forever changed my life goals and trajectory.
