Cool Out | Imagine Dragons

Thinking Bout You | Ciara

New Day | Danny Gokey

Hey Guys,

Coming off a great set at Wizend last week, I return to play at The House of Blues  this Tuesday night at 830pm. It will be an acoustic set of some of my best songs. I will be accompanied by the amazing guitarist Jon Monter. We are going on around 830pm. Hope you can make it!

So much fun shooting the video for "Dream of A Better Life" this past week in Mesa Arizona. Inside the Mesa Center for the Performing Arts it was nice and cool as we shot multiple scenes for this provocative music video.  Here's a shot from the shoot. We will share some other stills tomorrow

I wasn't even born when the last time Paul McCartney played Dodger Stadium with The Beatles, but I was lucky enough to go this past Sunday in LA and what I saw and heard just blew me away. Over 2 hours singing and playing onstage and every song was a hit at sometime. At 73 and looking extraordinary and in good voice.. I now know that the saying "Do what you love and it will keep you young" is really true. Way to go Sir Paul. Had a great time. Thank you.

I finally got to see two films recently that Ive really wanted to watch. The 1st is Studio City (Amazon Prime), Dave Grohl's fantastic homage to Studio City Recording Studios. It will blow you away how many famous groundbreaking records were cut there.  The 2nd is 20 Feet From Stardom (Netflix) - the behind the scenes struggles of background singers who struggle for recognition and stardom in their own right.  I highly recommend watching both.  RK
