    Welp, against many odds, WE MADE IT! Thanks to an amazing groundswell of support from over 200 friends, family members, and fans, we surpassed the funding goal for my new album! Holy hat!

  • iPads in the sky: do fan videos help or hurt?

                  From the stage, last week’s gig at Jazz Club Firenze appeared dark, mysterious, and candlelit. But from the audience, there might have been more than one smartphone or tablet a-glowing. Now I, for one, am flattered that people want to take a piece of my performance home with…

    In honor of the resurrection of my turntable, I would like to start off by reporting that last year in the U.K., not only did digital sales rise 27% – sales of vinyl LPs rose an astonishing 44% (!) according to British Recorded Music Industry group BPI.

  • azoff goes rogue

    As I’m sure you are all aware, The Rolling Stones did a whirlwind string of performances in and around New York and London in December. And yes, the massive stadiums were all sold out. But were any of you in the audience? No? Maybe that’s because the cheapest tickets — at least that I could…
