Whatta week, huge thanks to @pollstar_official for having me speak on a few panels. Lots of great collaboration and discussion. I’m challenging myself and everyone there to walk the walk. We need to do better for our people!
I loved seeing some old friends, and made some new ones too!

Let’s get it !
Very humbled to be part of the panels @pollstar_official ! This is a turning point for the industry, and time for real change. After what we faced in Guadalajara, I’m more committed than ever to pushing action that supports our people. I’m proud to represent my team, my colleagues, and make it happen with some of my pals. Very proud to lift up the next generation of touring professionals.

Okay drum nerds had the privilege of sitting down and talking to my good friend @mikedawsondrums on the @drumfactorydirect #drumcandy podcast about all things happening in the drum biz, all things @mastersofmaple , and lots of catching up. This will be part 1 of 2. Recorded prior to Namm #mastersofmaple #drumcandy #podcast #namm link in bio
A smile that lit up the room, and a groove that made you want to stop playing….because you’d never shred as hard. Doesn’t feel real, big love to you @aspears thank you for the years of friendship and support RIP Brother Bear ♥️
We lost another legend in touring. Some of us were lucky enough to know and travel the world with the lovely Teresa. I think it’s safe to say, all of us will miss that big smile, and the even bigger hugs! Rest easy friend, heaven just got some goth swag ❤️❤️
Today we said goodbye to our sweet friend and brother Kenneth Burns “Jr.” Ken was a giant in the touring world. He was the chief on my FIRST arena tour: years later I would be his production manager, on what would be his last tour. Junior, showed up for me, so I could show up for everyone else. I still can’t believe he came out of retirement for me, I wouldn’t have been able to level up without him. The pieces of our lives and careers that intersected will keep me warmer than the sun.
Life is far from fair, but sometimes you get a Ken, and it makes things make sense. Thank you for all you did and everyone you helped along the way. No more pain, just the life you wanted to live on your own terms. Hope to see you on the bus someday. Sending you all of the love my brother.
Lots of love to everyone at @upstaging_inc and who knew Ken
