Hello everyone,

A bunch of people have asked, so I am now offering lessons to anyone interested in playing the bass. I've played with a very wide variety of artist, so I'm sure I can help you get to where you want to go. To contact me, go to the contact page of my website, jot down my e-mail address, and write. We'll set something up, and get you on your way!

I've got some cool shows coming up. Heading to Iowa with Soul Asylum this weekend, some Billy shows before Thanksgiving, and then Soul Asylum heads off to South America. It'll be the first time the band has been there since the 90's. Hopefully we will bring some Minneapolis punk rock energy to Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. They won't need much help from us, because all these countries rock hard!

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, and they're the only string I've ever used, 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 the company that I've always used.

Peace....
