Greg Kirkelie’s playing warms the heart and moves the spirit. I was blessed to share a band with Greg from 1994-1998 in “On a Llama”, where we forged a path in the pursuit of global stardom and recognition. Fans know Greg’s sound to evoke semblances of Andy Summers and Alex Lifeson, but I hear a depth that sounds like none I’ve played with. He’s an accomplished sound architect and scoring musician, and has a fun and unique path to lead him to where he’s at today.

Who HASN’T Rafael played with? “Hafe” is not only slinging guitars in Paul Stanley’s band, but has played with Pink, Christina Aguilera, Vasco Rossi, and was a standout house band member on “Rockstar Supernova” and “Rockstar INXS”. A Brazilian dynamo, he’s one of my favorite players on the planet. Check out his solo project “Magnetico”: it’ll blow your mind! So will our hang: you’ll be right there with us, “Backstage” with All Access Live!

My earliest mentor, Rob Kohler is a visionary bassist. Rob opened my eyes to sophisticated rock and fusion, and started the first original band I’d ever been a part of: “Energy Positive”. He’s been an educator throughout North America, teaching bass via university and independent programs including Stanford Jazz Workshop, and is currently an adjunct professor at Montana State University. He’s not only a musical phenom, he’s an inspiring human being. We chat about Rob’s inspirations, his journeys, and both of our fathers (who have been friends for over 50 years).

My favorite Portland band (my son Nolan’s, too) is fronted by a lovely husband and wife pairing, but don’t let that lovey-dovey story fool you… this band is ferocious! Nathan Trueb is known throughout the Northwest as a gifted guitarist, wise beyond his years and lyrically? The man’s got those chops, too. When he and Miri forged their union in “Tango Alpha Tango”, their songs became anthems for all of my road trips. Once you hear the songs the first time, you’re hooked. Those of you who know – you know! Join us as we talk about their new band “White Bike”, “TAT” and the adventures that got them to where they are today.

There’s a reason that the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles has Jude on staff as a vocal instructor… he’s a vocal chameleon and performer. Nothing put in front of Jude gets taken lightly – and the night we performed together, he seamlessly nailed McCartney and Simple Minds songs with ease. His family musical endeavors make for great conversation, which you’ll get to peek in on!
