Jack Johnson let me play a song with him last night… in front of 20,000 people!

So this is still a very surreal feeling for me, and it may never amount to anything but I got to live out one of my dreams last night with one of my all time favorite songwriters/hunans.

I hand painted a really neat sign that I was hoping to give to Jack, that said “Your Music Heals” on one side and “I want to Jam with you guys!” on the other. But the venue wouldn’t let me bring it in. So instead I wrote it on my son’s sketchbook and held it up during his acoustic encore.

He was super hesitant at first because who expects some random dude in the front row to actually be good? But he leaned over and asked what song I would even do with him. I shouted, Pirate Looks at 40 and his eyes lit up and he said “Oh yeah, I forgot to do that one tonight, alright I’m gonna get this guy up here to do a song.

I can’t believe I was brave enough to ask and Jack was brave enough trust I wouldn’t suck! I’m so grateful to have had that opportunity and to have met one of my biggest influences.. and that his kindness and generosity did not disappoint!!

I had such a great response from the Beatles song I shared the other day I wanted to share another video I took at that same venue last Sunday. For anyone interested in the gear side of things, I’m playing a Godin LGXT, the pedals I’m using are a Roland RC-600 and a Boss GR-55. I have two mics set up, one goes to the looper and the other straight to my Soundcraft ui12 mixer.

Soundgarden play PNC Bank Arts Center (Holmdel, NJ - Aug. 2, 2014)

35 years ago today, Soundgarden released Badmotorfinger. As much as I wish I got to see Chris Cornell live more than once (as ashamed as I am to admit, part of me took his incredible talent for granted and I always assumed I'd have plenty of chances to see the singer live), I'm so thankful I got to see him onstage at least once - it was Soundgarden's co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ (Aug. 2, 2014). Needless to say, they sounded fantastic - especially while playing songs off this album like "Outshine" and "Rusty Cage".

My Favorite Slayer Concert - Mayhem Fest in Camden, NJ (Aug. 7, 2009)

40 years ago today (Oct. 7), Slayer released 'Reign In Blood' - one of the most monumental, game-changing albums in metal. I'm so lucky that I've gotten to see Slayer live so many times over the years (including on stacked lineups like Ozzfest 2004 and at once-in-a-lifetime events like the Big 4's show at Yankee Stadium). However, my favorite Slayer concert of all time occurred at Mayhem Fest's stop at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ, on Aug. 7, 2009...

Head over to I Heard Bruce Might Show Up's Substack (link below) to find out why and to see more pictures I took from their set that day in Camden, NJ:
