Tune in to PBS Monday, Oct. 31 at 9pm EST (check local listings) for the premier of The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor Celebrating Will Ferrell. I'm in the house band, Cracked Ice, led by Crispin Cioe, providing all of the music for the evening. Yeah, we had us some fun at the taping...
Check out the show's opening segment. Here's a video of us rocking the Kennedy Center with Jack Black:

We're top 10! "Look at That Cookie" is #6 on the Relix magazine/Jambands.com radio chart. This is enormously gratifying:

Do you have your Cookie yet?! You can preview the CD and purchase your copy HERE.
I appear with the cast of Broadway's "Rock of Ages" doing a rock/gospel version of "O Come, O Come Emanuel" on the new charity CD: Carols for a Cure, Vol. 13.
I'm humbled to be inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame. The ceremony is in NYC Sun., Dec. 4. Details HERE.
I have a new slideshow for my website of me standing next to famous people. It will take you about 4 minutes to get through the whole thing. Get out the popcorn! It's fun to look at the old holiday slides:
