GARY‘S BAND APPEARING ALONG WITH TV’S ROB MORROW AT BOGIES, JULY 15

So… famous TV actor Rob Morrow and I share a common connection: He once appeared in a Broadway play with Penn Jillette and Mia Farrow called ”The Exonerated.” Now, I know people who know Mia Farrow, but I ACTUALLY know Penn Jillette and have appeared onstage with him many times in different musical situations. Hey, maybe I’m not famous, but I’m fame-adjacent.

And now, I‘m appearing with Rob at Bogies in Westlake Village this Sunday, July 15. It’s a 7:00 show. We are each doing a full set with our original material, and with our own bands.

Not exactly a “6-degrees of Kevin Bacon” moment (although Rob’s guitarist sidekick Carlos Calvo did play with the Bacon brothers), but it’s close enough, and it’s gonna be a great show. Besides being an award-winning actor, Rob is a hell of a strong music performer, and he and Carlos and the band are guaranteed to rock the joint.

Rob and I met doing one of the Tribe benefit shows last December, and together with our friend Lauri Reimer, a true showbiz Jacqueline-of-all-trades, we hatched the evil plan of doing a co-bill. If you have not yet been to Bogies, it is rapidly becoming one of Southern California’s hottest venues for live music. Ken Greene, a musician himself, runs the club, and makes sure sound, lighting, and artist support are the toppermost of the poppermost. It’s always a joy to play there.

And besides getting to play yet again with guitar-god Grant Geissman, I’m joined by John Daren Thomas on drums, Steven Lawrence on bass, and backup vocals from the above-mentioned Lauri, and Joe Turano who also doubles on saxophone.
