Android Trio "Other Worlds" has been released into the wild on Cuneiform Records and now available at the Bandcamp link below. This was a truly special project to have taken part in - a grand adventure and incredible fun! I am humbled to be in the presence of such a remarkable collection of talent, the sum total of which equates to a realm of expression that truly knows no boundary.  Congratulations to my dear friends Eric Klerks, Max Kutner, and Andy Niven!

“Performing ‘Tarkus’ at the Keith Emerson Tribute event was incredibly meaningful. It was truly an amazing night. Having the opportunity to pay my respects to the man who changed my life by playing my favorite piece of music with incredible musicians, made it a memory that will never be forgotten. I’m so thrilled that this incredible evening of music is now going to be shared with the world.” - Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) 

“It’s difficult to express what an honor it was to participate in this tribute to Keith. Surrounded by friends and heroes, it was such a privilege to be part of a group of musicians who were as affected by Keith’s life, music and friendship as I was. Not surprisingly there’s a lot of us. To play Hammond on The Barbarian, the first song I ever saw him play live, is a cherished memory I’ll never forget. Many thanks to Marc and Mari for keeping this idea and dream alive.” - Steve Porcaro (Toto)

The Friendship Tour continues into 2020, beginning in March with a special appearance in London for Manoto TV, followed by dates in Istanbul and Antalya.
