Check out these amazing photos from the March 31st concert in Arizona!  Big thanks to nationally renowned photographer and lifelong friend, Jared Platt, as these are some pretty impressive photos.

Last month’s photo shoot with super-photographer Jared Platt stretched over 4 locations in the greater Phoenix-area and was one of the funnest times I’ve had all year.  Having friends like him does a lot to remind me everyday what a wonderful world this is.  Enjoy the photos.  (Note:  To see more of Jared Platt’s incredible work, go to www.plattphotography.com)

A huge thank you to Internationally Renowned photographer Jared Platt (www.plattphotography.com) for assembing this incredible photo montage from our various photo shoots over the years.  Jared has always been a friend and a supporter, as I am of his work also.  Big luck and big thanks to him for everything he does to support me in my efforts.

As Depeche Mode once sang, “Your own personal photographer, someone to take your pics, someone who’s quick…”  Or at least, I think that’s how it went.  At any rate, my best friend and personal photographer Mr. Jared Platt paid me a surprise visit a couple weeks ago here in LA.  The end result was a fun photo shoot and a tasty lunch with my buddies that I figured I would share with you.  Big thanks to Jared Platt (www.plattphotography.com), Dale Spollett*, and Tim Nichols** – all good friends and great guys that I’m sure you’ll be seeing everywhere in the not too distant future.

* Dale Spollett is a Stand-Up Comedian here in LA and is also the new ‘John Belushi’ in the Blue’s Brothers Show for Universal Studios.  Dale and I occasionally perform together in our comedy stage show, “A Double Dose of Dale.”
** Tim Nichols is a comedy writer and actor, featured in the sitcom ‘American Body Shop; on Comedy Central.

Having your best friend from high school become one of the top photographers in the country is pretty cool on a number of levels.  It means that, when he’s available (which is less and less these days), I get to benefit from his sharp eye and his amazing talent.  I guess having your best friend become a rock musician has its benefits too – free CDs… and, uhm, I babysit sometimes.  Seriously though, it is a good synergy the two of us have had for years, so I now give you the photographic stylings of my good friend, Mr. Jared Platt (www.plattphotography.com), in the form of my latest photoshoot in Mesa, Arizona.

If you couldn’t make The Filling Station show this last weekend, you did miss a high-energy, inspired performance from ‘yours truly.’  Luckily, one of my oldest friends and one of the top photographers in the country happened to be in the house, so you get to see the show through his eyes.  Enjoy!

The Walking Wounded Photo shoot was so rewarding and fun, I figured I’d post a number of new photos that I just got from Jared Platt.  A huge thanks to Jared and all the participants, again, from that shoot.

Note:  I have copies of photos for the various people involved in the shoot.  Please contact me to arrange sending them to you.

Yesterday’s photoshoot for “The Walking Wounded” album cover was an incredibly rewarding and exhausting full day of work.  A big thank you to my personal friend and photographer Jared Platt for shooting us, Steven Hansen (aka Filthy Duck) another personal friend and top Utah photographer for assisting and capturing the event via his lens, Cynthia Dean of Enizio for the gore makeup (along with her assistant Cassie), and Ken (my business manager) for helping to manage everything and for making us laugh.  We spent most of the cold day just outside the Utah Ghost Town of Thistle getting photos of me and my rag-tag group of 7 wounded warriors who will physically represent many of the inner wounds that we carry with us as people in this crazy place we call planet earth.  The conditions were kind of cramped with the 11 of us inside my tour bus, but I appreciated everyone’s willingness to have a good attitude in-spite of cramped quarters.

The most difficult part of the day (besides the temperature) was carrying my 300 pound Slam Grand Piano down into a marsh to be photographed with a house half buried by water behind it.  It took four of us to carry and took it’s toll on my poor friend Steven’s back.

A special thanks to all my sexy “trade-for-print” wounded models, who were (for the most part) extremely professional and fun to spend the day with:  Paris, Ariana, Kesia, Jenica, and Kimberly.
