New News

When I joined the Candye Kane Band just about a year ago, it was kind of dizzying. Leading up to the audition I focused on learning mostly tunes from her latest disc “Superhero”, but she has nine other releases, and the set list is deep with catalog.

There’s no way I could have gotten up and running fast enough without everyone in the band’s help, especially Evan the drummer, yelling when to play and when to shut up! Every once and a while I’d hear him yell “Hey!” over my shoulder, to get my attention. He’d just give me a “Something’s coming, pay attention” look and I’d be ready…usually.

Evan is leaving the band, and will be starting a new musical adventure, and I want to wish him well on his “hero’s journey.” Consider the fact that he’s been playing and touring with the band behind his own Mother for eight-plus years; it takes a certain heftage of balls to decide to do something else! Thanks, man. Literally couldn’t have done it without your help and support.

In time I’ll introduce everyone to our new drummer, when we figure out his Stage Name. Just ‘Patronius’? We’ll get back to that.

The Spring and Summer road trips are filling out, but in the meantime there are opportunities for our Southern and Northern California friends to catch up with the band as we work him in. Check out the schedule and come say “Hi. What’s your name?” Then let me know what he says.

(I tease, Marcus, because I care!)

Spring '07 Euro Tour

Bastia, on the northern tip of Corsica. This is the view standing in my backdoor, and that's the Mediterranean peeking over the hill.

My cool little room on the Mediterranean. Nothing really says "Vacation" quite like a beach nearby and tile floors in your Hotel.

Another Hotel shot, this one outside my front door. It's hard to say whether this was a great way to start the tour, or just spoiled us right out of the gate.

Soundcheck in the city Theater in Corsica. These opera house style theaters have great acoustics, and all the seating levels are right on top of you.

Salzburg, Vienna. A rainy morning on the banks of the river Salzak. The Festung Hohensalzburg, or "High Salzburg Fortress" is in the background.

In the old town area, a lot of houses were built right against the rockie hills. Many, like this one, sport two dates; built in 1408, and renovated in 1964.

A detail from the Fountain in the Residenzplatz. Salzburg is a beautiful city, and the Architecture, Statues and Fountains all made for a great morning walk, even in the rain.

More of the Fortress. Blurry? That's not blurry! It's...umm..."Dream-like". Yeah, that's what I was going for here. Dream-like.

This was the view from my balcony in Rankwell, Austria. This is Europe, circa 21st Century; the modern way to preserve the past.

Just a shot out a window in Rottweil, Germany. To me it looks quaint, rustic, and evocative of another time. To the guy who owns it, it's where he keeps his lawn mower.

Also Rottweil. This little Gutter/Fountain ran along the sidewalk next to the Church, and featured a bunch of little "Ruins".

Ingolstad, Germany. Cathedrals and towers a easy to find throughout Germany. Whenever we checked into a hotel, I look out my window for one or the other, and more times than not, they were there.
