Hey Friends! As of October 6th 2009 I am very proud to announce that I endorse Stratage guitars.
A heart felt thank you goes’ out to company owners Frank and Sharon Aurigemma for inviting me into their family of artists. I’m pleased and excited to represent this outstanding FL based company. Stratage guitars are simply the finest guitars I have ever played. The tone, playability, craftsmanship and innovative design concepts are spectacular. I look forward to a long standing relationship with Stratage .Together we will be presenting educational events nationally and working in conjunction to bring public awareness to the groundbreaking Stratage guitars. The great folks at Stratage have committed themselves to supporting and helping to publicize all of musical endeavors, for such I am eternally grateful. Thank you to Frank and Sharon for standing behind me.
I embark on the recording of my second solo album release entitled “Fever Pitch” this month in LA.I will be using my new Stratage guitars in the studio. Over the next few months I will launch my most ambitious clinic tour to date utilizing loop stations enabling me to play both bass and guitar live. This will take my educational reach to new levels and provide an exciting new live music experience. It has been a lifelong dream to share my gifts and be actively involved on a national level presenting concert clinics. This year has been incredible with the help of all my amazing sponsors. That very dream has become an ongoing and exploding reality. Spector Basses, SWR Amps, Black Diamond Strings and now, Stratage guitars I thank you all, without your help and tremendous support none of this would be possible.
