They can open shows for us anytime." John Popper Blues Traveler
“Times are not easy for everyone and when I play music it's a spiritual thing for me. I use my guitar as a way to express my soul and the energy I have for life. When I play, I try to take everyone with me so we all can forget about life for a while and relax." Scott Weis
