"I'm currently playing with Miss Avril Lavigne promoting her latest release, "The Best Damn Thing". Stay tuned for T.V. appearances, tour dates, etc...... I'm having a FREAKIN' BLAST:)

As for the last year, I clocked some amazing time on tour with the fabulous REGINA SPEKTOR on her American & Canadian tour, playing Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daly, and Jay Leno, as well as recording a live CD for Sire Records at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco and Avalon in Los Angeles. Also in 2006, I recorded "DOWN IN FLAMES" with NYC boi Wes Hutchinson.
