For this show I was asked by my friend John from John The Gun if I was interested in… Read More John The Gun – Maxwell’s Tavern – Hoboken, NJ – 10/2/15

The ride was a typical drive, listening to music like Mike Rocket, if you want a good laugh, reading, sleeping, and thinking of life choices. Such as do I… Read More Gasoline Heart 2015 Tour Day 4: Cleveland, OH – 3/26/15
Last night’s show went well, even with a bigger show next door. The band sounded real good, and so did the sound at the venue. After the show we made our way to a hotel to crash.
