Happy New Year
Take a look around the website, a few things have changed.
I have a slightly new cymbal setup for 2010 on the Gear page, and an "Artwork" page is in the works. The Artwork page will showcase some of my designs, illustrations and photography, and should be up soon.
Heaven Is Where is back in rehearsals after a holiday break, and will be booking some acoustic shows until we have the regular live show finished. At the same time I am playing out with Classic Rockers,
The Average Joe's Band. We already have a slew of gigs for the new year with more being added all the time. Check out the Live page for all my 2010 dates, and be sure to keep checking back as they are updates all the time.
