The performances were held at the Cobb Enery Centre, and I was part of the double drum assault along with D’ante Brown with a band directed by Dr. Kevin Johnson. In January I made the trip to the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida to perform with The Sundogs, as well as Kristian Bush’s new band Dark Water. This was the first time I got to play with Kristin since the early days of Sugarland back in 2004, and close to 25 years since he first brought me along to tour with his band Billy Pilgrim in support of their 1995 Atlantic Records release Bloom.

We had The War and Treaty, Bradley Cole Smith, John Driskell Hopkins, Mike Rizzi, and others sit in for the Heartbreakers set (painting by Robby Amonett). I also played drums this year at shows with Mike Rizzi, Allgood Music Company, The Core, and the Atlanta Pops Orchestra. And I broke out the vibes for a Tongi Hiti reunion at Trader Vic’s in downtown Atlanta for Dragon Con, as well as a recording for the Oregon Murder podcast produced by iHeartRadio.
