Featuring:
Craig Bartock (Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Band Heart)
David Sikes (former decade long bass player/vocalist/songwriter for rock n roll band BOSTON)
Jeff Campitelli (50th Greatest Drummer of all-time: Rolling Stone)

“For me, our music is a creative collaboration of stories that musically connect to community.  Stories that reflect what is going on in the world today and resonate in an ear pleasing way. Playing that music live with some of the top musicians in the Bay Area (Craig Bartock-Heart, Jeff Campitelli- formerly with Joe Satriani, David Sikes- formerly with Boston) is surreal. Add my guitar shredding son Aidan, and it is like playing in a dream”
