New & Exciting Things…

January 24, 2010

A lot of new things happening in my life lately, and I am very excited to share them with you. Perhaps the biggest news is that I am now playing guitar full time for my dear friend Tyler Bryant. Tyler is an incredible guitar player & songwriter, and his song on the new Guitar Hero 5 is one of the many  testaments to that.

Tyler and I have been good friends for about a year now, and this Fall when I finished up my touring he asked if I would be interested in being the 4th member of his band. After you listen to his tunes, you’ll understand why I didn’t even hesitate one bit. It’s been a total blast so far, and I’m incredibly excited for what’s to come.

Last weekend one of our sponsors, Fender Guitars, flew us out to the annual NAMM guitar conference in Anaheim, CA as featured guests. We played a 45 minute set on the Fender stage and had a blast being at the conference and hanging with the Fender crew. Our good friend and tour photographer Andy Merrick took some great photos. I’ve got a few of them posted below,  but you can see the rest on his website. Also, check out the Fender video of part of our set on YouTube!

“When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
