My last Cd released in 2017 titled Every Sunday Night was recorded live in the studio with my working band at the time. There are great performances by Bobby Harden, Nick Semrad, Bill McClellan, Julian Pollack Chulo Gatewood and JT Bowen. The recording got great reviews! There are links in the review section of this site. Downbeat, Riveting Riffs, Many blues and roots sites almost too many reviews to count! We also have a video produced by William Murray for the song Before I Go from that disc here is the link;

As far as recent activity, my friend Wayne Horvitz has released a live retrospective of the band "The President" which I was in and out of for years. I'm featured on 4 tracks. Wayne has a lot of kind things to say about me and my playing in the liner notes. Here is a link https://waynehorvitz.bandcamp.com/album/live-forever-vol-1-the-president-new-york-in-the-80s-3
I did a lot of playing on Billie Williams recent recording "Hell To Pay" just released this July. This recording is already getting world wide airplay and nice reviews. Also I did a lot of work on a CD for a group called Big Bowl of Soul also released in July. I have recently done some recording with Dave Benton formerly of a group called LVL UP. Here is an article about Dave and one of the songs I played on https://floodmagazine.com/75252/premiere-trace-mountains-explore-the-complexities-of-rock-roll/ ALSO! I recently found out Mountain Stage released some performances I was on with Fontella Bass called "Gospel Live". I'm told HBO will be using our version of This Little Light of Mine for something of theirs.
