He and the band will perform songs from his upcoming CD as well as originals by Will Faerber, Don Randi and Jody Bagley. They will also perform some of the audience's favorite songs from the classic rock songbook.

Special guest Don Randi is the legendary pianist, composer and arranger of "The Wrecking Crew," who was instrumental in the creation of the Wall-of-Sound recording techniques with Phil Spector that became known as the L.A. Sound.
