I interviewed mad ripper Jack White when he and the Dead Weather played the Fillmore. It will be the cover story for the August issue of Guitar Player, which will be available free at Guitar Player Presents Guitarmageddon at the High Sierra Music festival on Friday, July 2 at noon in the Music Hall. More info at http://www.highsierramusic.com/

The September issue of Bass Player will include my Bass Note on Kamara Thomas who rules on bass and vocals in the band Earl Greyhound.
