We are on a roll, let’s make that a rock ‘n’ roll, with GSN. Stephanie and I hired the talented Xiren Kenny to sing on a promo for Deal or No Deal. The spot was produced and conceived by Jeremy Asher Lynch and Stephanie and I modified and adapted lyrics originally written by Jarrett Begick.
Stephanie and I have once again hired the talented Kandace Ferrel to sing on a New Attitude cover for Steve Harvey’s debut on GSN.
It has been a wonderful pleasure to be working with the whole crew over at GSN, where I have been mixing spots for the cable premiere of Dancing With The Stars. GSN assembled past stars such as: J.R. Martinez, Maksim Chmerkovkskiy, Derek Hough, Lacey Schwimmer, Ralph Macchio, Mel B, Rick Fox, Giles Marini, Audrina Patridge and Chaz Bono for a beautiful photo shoot, shot by Kevin Lynch. The event was covered by Entertainment Tonight, who is airing the behind the scenes interviews they did at the shoot on tonight’s broadcast.
‘Pretty Little Liars’ Returns Strong, ‘Lying Game’ Hits Series High – Hollywood Reporter. It must have been the promos!
Stephanie and I had the pleasure of producing a song for our friends over at the web-series, Joe and Buzz. Monica Kenyon, from Joe and Buzz nails the vocal on this bluegrass rendition of Katy Perry’s Firework. We also utilized the talents of Tammy Rogers (fiddle) and Richard Bailey (Banjo) who are members of the Grammy nominated band the SteelDrivers. Stephanie and I have written with Gary Nicholson, who can be heard on a handful of the SteelDrivers songs as well as on the songs Ten-Six and Red Hat under the Angola Blue section of my site.

Having had the honor to write and record three songs with the legendary Gary Nicholson and to have had the pleasure to record Doug Pettibone and Colin Linden on other songs of mine, I am somewhat embarrassed to share my own slide guitar playing, which is what you can hear on the incredibly funny Joe & Buzz web series. Joe & Buzz post new episodes every Tuesday. Here is one of my favorites:
UPDATE: Congrats Joe & Buzz. After being in third position on reddit.com for most of a day, Joe & Buzz hit 117,000 views in 24 hours of their Joe and Buzz: Pwned! video.
Enjoy!
I am pleased to let you know that the I Just Wanna Play, which I co-wrote with my wife Stephanie for our band Sunshine Collective, is now being played on Sirius XM Channel 116 | Kids Place Live.
The Sunshine Collective song A Thousand Notable Things from our record Wanna Play? has been used for a beautiful PSA created by Judie Stillman with the stunning graphics work of Taka Ikari.
