I am very happy to announce that I have signed with NuGroove records.. The new CD " Jigsaw Life" will be out on July 22nd.  The first single "Back On The Hudson" will be at radio soon, so listen out.  I'll have news on how you can pre order your copy soon .....

I've just had the best time on tour with Was (Not Was) and am looking forward to going back out possibly in the fall ..It was great to be out on the road and visit new cities and make new fans along the way.  Check out the bands new cd "Boo".... it's a must have album!

Other news is ... I have finally left the live band of Down To The Bone (after forming it 11 years ago). This was a bitter sweet decision for me and one that was not made in haste.  I feel it is time to put all the time and effort I did into DTTB, into my own music and move forward.  For fans of the band. Don't worry as I will be performing with the same musicians as I booked to play with me in DTTB and will be playing a selection of my favourite DTTB tunes, along with my music in my new set.  Everything will look and sound the same. So it's business as usual, upbeat & funky, with that touch of British charm & wit!!! ....... just keep an eye on the live page for dates near you this summer ...

 

I've been asked to perform and host this years Palmdale Wine & Jazz festival. This is a great day out with fantastic music and some of the best wines from around southern california. Performing with me will be Mindi Abair ..... Rick Braun ..... and Spyro Gyra!!!

 

I have been asked to return again next year in 2009 out of Miami.  keep checking back for details on the cruise and the great lineup of talent that will be playing. Go to and check it out http://www.smoothmusiccruise.com/

"Well, if you like head boppin’ groovin’ melodies and a seriously funky vibe, then you will love my next guest. He’s about to release a great new CD. It’s called HeadBoppin. He’s just signed a new record deal and he’s half man, half funky grooves. Please welcome ARTizen recording artist Shilts. How ya doin’"?
