45 years ago, Rush released their 2nd album, ‘Fly by Night’ with a new drummer named Neil Peart. Their music has always been a big influence and inspiration for me. I posted a fretless 5-string bass cover of the title track on my YouTube channel.

I love writing and performing original music.
I love writing and performing original music. However, it comes first and foremost from being a huge music fan, and from being inspired by learning and playing the music of other artists too.
In addition to the original bands and artists I work with, I play in several tribute and cover bands, including a @pink tribute, ‘Raise Your Glass’. Here’s a clip of us having a blast performing “18-Wheeler” live.
Doing our best to do justice to P!nk’s music is no small feat. P!nk is an amazing singer and performer, and her band is full of top-knotch musicians, including Eva Gardner on bass, Justin Derrico on guitar, and Mark Schulman on drums. I’ve seen them live several times, and it’s always an awesome, high-energy show.

A few years back, performing a warm-up with Dion Jackson for a Walk for MS.
throwbackthursday – a few years back, performing a warm-up with Dion Jackson for a Walk for MS. I love getting to mix my passions, and with these events I get to intertwine my love for volunteering, fitness & adaptive athletics, and music. Having Dion as a friend and a mentor makes these experiences priceless. The MS Walk is going virtual for 2020 (link to more info in my Instagram bio).

Close-up detail of the Alperious pickguard on my Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5HH “Sakura” bass.
Close-up detail of the @alperiouspickguard on my @ernieballmusicman Stingray 5HH “Sakura” bass. It’s a one-of-a-kind work of art, super durable, and it adds a nice, subtle change in tone and increase of sustain. I love the single lotus blossum around the pickup selector switch. Want to see the full unboxing and install process? Watch the video.
