Hello everyone,

The next few weeks will get more and more fast paced, culminating in the return of Rock Of Ages in NYC.

Arsenal, the band from the Broadway, now Off-Broadway musical Rock Of Ages will be putting on our leather pants, and rocking once again at New World Stages in NYC. We had a nice run on Broadway, so maybe the 4th(?) time is a charm and we'll run until we can't rock any more.

Last Wednesday, I went out to Silvercup Studios in the Bronx to shoot an episode of "Pose" the original show on the FX Channel with the extremely talented Billy Porter. I'm not going reveal to much. The episode airs the 2nd or 3rd week of July.

I am a D'Addario Artist! Through the years, so much has changed in the way of gear, and music styles, but I've always used D'Addario strings, pretty much from the beginning. I've never endorsed any other string, so this is an amazing thing for me. I've always been of a mind to only endorse something that I use, so this is the culmination of many decades of hard work. Rock with Soul Asylum....EXL 170's. Upright on Home For The Holidays...Helicore Hybrids. Tenor guitar with Amy Helm....yes, Phosphor Bronze. Flatwounds with The Demolition String Band...of course, Chromes. All these instruments have been strung with D'Addario strings. I'd like to send a shout out to Reggie and Mike V for making it happen, and giving me the confidence to approach a company that I've always loved.

Peace....
