Up All Night

This album is a departure from my previous, mainly acoustic blues releases. It features a full band sound. I began my musical career playing saxophone, but had not played it for over 20 years. As I began working on this new album, I had a visit from and old drummer friend of mine, Mike Wilps. His father played drums with my father, who played saxophone, in a number of bands during the big band era. This meeting lead to a collaboration with him and two other musicians from western Pennsylvania, Donn Overly (guitar and keyboards) and Ronnie Grkman (bass). This album is dedicated to Patty Bourke (my father) and Shack Wilps (Mike's father).
