Title: New gig subbing for Lou Gramm's bass player
Post by: godofthunder on July 20, 2016, 02:35:55 AM
   My long time friend AD Zimmer is the bassist for the Lou Gramm band. They were in a bit of a bind for a show and AD asked me to fill in late last week. I am really excited and have been working my tail off. We drive up to Canada on Friday  for show number 1, AD does that one, then me and the band fly up to Sascatuwan for the gig on Monday. Full report to follow!

Was that a sic or did you mean Saskatchewan the province?  I know that sometimes you Yanks have City names that are close to our province names (Ontario, California).  If the prov, you're into the great White North now, bud. 

Where's that first show?

   Heading out today! I had five days to learn the set, I am feeling pretty good about it. You guys can follow my adventure on fb and instagram dassonscott. Get this the sax and rythem guitarists is Scott Gillman. He was the singer in my cousin Brock Avery's band New Man . They were out if Boston in the 80's and signed to Arista records. I was in Boston at Brock's insistence and wound up in EXPOSE who were about to be signed. I haven't seen Scott in 30 years lol should be a cool reunion!

   If anyone was reviewing my performance they probably wouldn't be to kind, fortunately most of the attention is on Lou and the guitar player. I got them through the show and that's all that matters. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do it again!
