Sad News

Hey everybody!!!!

My family has had a couple tough weeks...we found out 2 weeks ago that our dog, Clancy (a bassett hound) had cancer!! He lived at a rescue in Pennsylvania and we went up to see him one last time and he had gotten very skinny and tired which was very hard to see!!

He died at 11 pm on tuesday night in his sleep and in his comfy bed!!!! He had just turned 8!!

We're going to miss him so much and we'll always remember and love him!!

My brother, Chris Berry who designed the cover for the "Heart Attack EP" has made some artwork of Clancy and is selling them through society6!! All profits will be donated to the ASPCA!!

Check out Chris' website ilikeyougraphik.com and I hope you enjoy the artwork he has done...that's our Clan Man!!!!

Have a great weekend and give all of your pets a big hug!!!!

What Now??

Hey Everyone,

It has definitely been awhile!!!! I hope everyone is well!!

I've been all over the place...just got back at the end of April from a 2 week tour with Side FX!! They started in Virginia and I met them in North Carolina and traveled with them through South Carolina and Florida!! It was a ton of fun and we played some great shows but damn was I glad to be back home!!

When I got home the first order of business was to rock Ri Ra's in Arlington with The Fuzz!!!! It was an awesome night and it was great to be back playing with them again!! We're taking a little break this month but we are booked solid through June and July so come and check out those shows!!!!

Next order of business was to rock out at a wedding in Ridge, MD with Judo Chop!! It was a great day and it was a lot of fun!! I got to play jazz standards for an hour which I was quite surprised with myself that I can still play after all these years and the party was absolutely bouncing!! I am going to say it definitely was the best wedding we've ever played!!

What's next??

Well, first of all I sort of fell into running the sound board for a church production of Godspell in Maryland next weekend...who knew I would become a sound man??

Judo Chop is working on an EP which is slowly getting on its way so I will keep you posted on that!!

I have a bunch of gigs coming up with all 3 bands so check the myspace for tour dates!!

I've got a lot of things in works for Classified Frequency so keep checking back for updates!!

AND...I officially am moving into my own place...HOLY SHIT!!!!

Anyways, lot's going on so keep checking back for updates and of course thanx so much for all the support and please like I always say, tell your friends!!!!

Talk to you soon!!

Hello Everybody,

It's been awhile but there's so much to talk about!!

First, from the title of this post...you guessed it...I'm going on tour again with Side FX from April 12th to the 26th!! We'll be touring the Carolinas and Florida doing clubs, coffee houses, radio shows and tv shows!!!! So if you're around, come check us out...full tour dates at www.sidefxband.net!!!!

Last month The Fuzz had to take off but we are back to playing every weekend basically...we had a great gig at the Auld Shebeen in Fairfax on April 2nd and because of my touring schedule I won't be able to play with them until April 29th at Ri Ra in Arlington but they will be doing some shows without me at Sully's, PJ Skidoos and the Clarendon Grill so if you want to see an awesome band, check out those shows!!!! For more info go to www.myspace.com/thefuzzonline!!!!

Also, Judo Chop is getting back into the swing of things...we just did an amazing show at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and we rocked the joint!!!! We have footage to prove it!!!! This friday we'll be at Shenandoah University (where I graduated from) and then we have some weddings and private parties coming up as well!!!! For more info go to www.judochoprock.com!!

We've also started recording a Judo Chop EP and are working on a brand new website among other things so keep checking back for updates!!!!

Let's talk about Classified Frequency shall we!!

Because of the plays I've been getting in other countries, I've decided to make the Heart Attack EP available in some of those countries so you can now buy the record on iTunes USA, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, UK/European Union and Japan!!!

So if you have friends over seas, spread the word!!!!

Thanx so much for all of your support and I hope to see you all at a show somewhere soon!!!!

March and No Gigs!!!!

Happy March!!!!

I've found myself with a ton of time because all my gigs that were booked this month all got cancelled for reasons totally out of my control which frustrates the hell out of me but whatever...that's life!!

So I've been doing a lot of practicing which is good and I've been starting pre production for a new Classified Frequency EP and a Judo Chop EP!!!! I will be filming all along the way so look out for videos of me doing what I do best soon!!

A couple cool things have happened with the "Heart Attack EP" though which I will share..."Heart Attack" and "Bastard Installment" was played on a couple of radio shows and pod casts recently which is very exciting!!

DALECAST out of the UK
The Distinguished Gentlemen out of Texas and
Grassroots Groove on Bulls Radio WMNF 88.5 HD2 1620 AM out of Tampa, Florida

A huge thanx goes out to them all for playing my tunes and supporting my music...I greatly appreciate it!!

I do have one gig this month and that is with Judo Chop at Bucknell University...we've played there I think twice before and it was outside and freezing but we rocked it and people stayed all night so it should be a ton of fun!!

After that I'll be at the Auld Shebeen in Fairfax with The Fuzz on April 1st, New York City with Side FX at Uncle Mike's on April 2nd, enjoying Mike Stern at Blues Alley on April 3rd, Shenandoah University/Conservatory (where I graduated from...oh shit...I better be good) in Winchester, VA with Judo Chop on April 9th, I'll be hanging out at the Japanese Street Festival in DC on the 10th (my second year going...I highly recommend it) and after that I will be on tour with Side FX from North Carolina to all around Florida from April 12th to the 25th so if you're around, catch those shows!!!!

Anyways, thanx so much for supporting us and our music and I hope to see you all soon on the road!!!!

Take care of yourselves!!!!
