It's been a great summer. My home studio "Creation Station II" is just about finished and I am still in the process of writing and recording the new CD with "Eric Hansen". I am looking forward to performing with Eric and violinist Randy Fishenfeld at The Melting Point in Athens, GA in early October. Guitar, Zendrum and Violin, what a power trio!

I just finished recording a 12 track CD on acoustic drums for the group "Cosmosity" with old time friend Captain Reese on bass, Jason Kates on rhythm guitar and Peter Stroud, lead guitarist with Sheryl Crow's band. I will keep you posted on up and coming shows with "Cosmosity" and release dates on both CDs.

"Blues Dragon" has been playing to standing only crowds at the Back Room in Boca Raton and at the Blue Note in Jupiter. We have been invited to play at the South Florida International Blues Festival at Nova Southern University, November 10th at 2:00 PM. http://www.huizenga.nova.edu/bluesfest/default.cfm
I will be sharing the drum and percussion chairs with Fred Weng and some "Slap Box" here and there. Should be a great show. Up coming CD in the works with this band as well.

I am also continuing to develop, work and write with "the little girl with the big voice", 12 year old, Michaela Paige. We are about to start some demo work in the new studio on some new songs Michaela and I have been crafting. Look out for this little dynamite!

That's it for now, see you soon,

Rico
