Los Angeles-based guitarist ADRIAN GALYSH (www.adriangalysh.com) has issued the following:
"Hello folks,This past weekend, I once again had the pleasure of taking part in the ULI JON ROTH And Friends concerts here in Hollywood, California. This year's concerts went very well, with a great venue (Musician's Institute Auditorium), great sound, amazingly talented special guests, and of course Uli Jon Roth and his remarkable band.
Besides getting to play guitar along side Uli, and on some classic SCORPIONS tunes, specifically 'Pictured Life', 'Fly To The Rainbow' and 'In Trance', some highlights of the weekend for me were witnessing singer Mark Boals wail on 'Sails Of Charon', 'Child In Time', and 'Catch Your Train'... he is an absolutely amazing singer, whose range and power has to be witnessed in person!
It was also great to meet and hear Robbie Krieger, from THE DOORS, who played some classic Doors numbers. A special treat for everyone was hearing my old friend Johnny Hiland, a country picker from Nashville, play along with Uli Jon Roth on 'Down, Down, Down' and 'Mercury Blues'... what a contrast of styles, but they are both such good listeners that they really complimented each other. PAUL GILBERT brought the house down with some great renditions of the JIMI HENDRIX tunes, 'Purple Haze', 'Highway Child', and 'Foxy Lady'. Again, such a contrast of styles between Uli and Paul, but the results were very musical.
All-in-all it was great to see some old friends, meet new ones, and get to jam with some very talented musicians. Everyone involved was so nice, what a great hang... its events like this that remind me of why its so fun to be a musician.
On September 27th, I will be performing at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA, sharing the bill with guitarist Carl Verheyen (SUPERTRAMP). Please visit www.knittingfactory.com for more information.
My band will feature: Philip Bynoe (STEVE VAI, SLAVIOR) on bass, Glen Sobel (JENNIFER BATTEN, GRAHAM BONNET, BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) on drums, and Maureen Baker Okuye (KLYMAXX) on keyboards..."
