He will break from the “Two Of A Perfect Trio” tour briefly to make his appearance in Montreal and then rejoin the tour on October 26th. A very special thanks to Ralph Angelillo for his continued friendship, support and for once more giving him the opportunity to perform at his prestigious festival. He last performed there in November 2002. He also wants to thank all of his “family” at Paiste, Sonor, DW pedals, ProMark and Evans for putting everything together for the festival. It’s going to be great!.
