Show notes

Born in Manchester, Matt won the British Blues Awards Guitarist of the Year 2010 - 2012, earning him an induction into the British Blues Hall of Fame. But as you would imagine, the road to the top was certainly not easy. And in some ways, it's gotten even harder, as Matt explains the reality and frustrations of the music industry in 2018…

We talked about a wide range of things here, including Matt's connection to the blues (and connection to his dad)... the first time he played with his own heroes, Buddy Guy and Robben Ford… his 1961 Fender Stratocaster… being tough… Meat Pies, and more. Great conversation with a fantastic bluesman who was very candid...

Show notes

Although George was signed to MCA directly by Irving Azoff, and has played on 10 major album releases as a member of various bands… oddly enough, his greatest success came to him because he will willing to accept a position as Rick Springfield's guitar tech, during a time in his life, when things were at a slow down. If you like to root for the underdog, you'll love this story about how the good guy won…

George pulls no punches here, and the stories he shares about the ins and outs of the music business, and how band members wind up connecting… is an amazing lesson in how long-shots line up and the value of serendipity in life. PLUS, the greatest unknown rock and roll band you never heard… personal development… shortcomings, and more, in this eye-opening conversation!

Show notes

Joel's had incredible success playing for top-shelf bands and in settings all over the musical map. Most people know him for his work with Whitesnake, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Night Ranger, Cher, and Foreigner. But he's literally played with a "who's who" list of artists, including Dee Snider, Jeff Scott Soto, Don Barnes (38 Special), Joan Jett, Rik Emmett (Triumph), Tommy Shaw (Styx), Alan Parsons, Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple), Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Stephen Pearcy (RATT), Nancy Wilson (Heart), Sebastian Bach, Ted Nugent , Glenn Hughes, Wyclef Jean, Debbie Gibson, Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad) and literally hundreds more…

Joel talks about getting the gig with Whitesnake… how his work ethic has helped him throughout his career… a funny story about Alice Cooper's snake shitting all over Reb Beach's pedalboard… having confidence (or NOT having it)... and what he learned from his mom. This was a GREAT conversation with an incredibly successful player who is equally humble regarding his accomplishments...

Reggie's life has been filled with ups and downs, including a terrible tragedy that is, frankly… hard to bounce back from. But today, things are different. He's extremely positive and things have taken a positive turn. Not by random luck, but by him making some very specific changes, which he was kind enough to share during our conversation. This is a really cool call, with one of my NYC homies who kept it 100% REAL...
