Hey guys, I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be on TWO awesome Reggae/Ska/Punk radio shows this weekend in the UK!! You can hear them both streaming live THIS SATURDAY at 3 and 6 PM EST time here>> http://mixlr.com/sfr. If you miss the live show don’t fret, they’ve got you covered. Just click on the links below to check out their personal blogs and soundcloud pages for reposts of their most recent shows:

You can also head on over to the stations homepage right now and read more about them at http://sfradio.wordpress.com (and be sure to thank ’em for picking such awesome music). Your eardrums will be most pleased with their AMAZING mix of reggae, ska and punk tunes every week from old school favorites like Toots and the Maytals and the Skatalites to new skool artists the likes of the Bakesys and Bombskare…not to mention some great covers of classic tunes like Johnny Cash & Joe Strummer doing Redemption Song or Johnny Nash’s version of Stir it Up.
Happy Rockin,

I’m excited to be playing guitar in an awesome charity project called Stokes and Folks with gigs starting this week! The project leader, Josh Stokes, is going on a cross-country bicycle tour (w/ keyboard in tow) from Detroit to San Diego, all while raising money and awareness for St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital. I’ll be performing at all the dates listed below (marked Stokes and Folks). Come out and support a GREAT cause! Check out http://www.StokleyandFriends.com for more info.
