There is an article about Rick LaBonté and the Band Of Brothers in the latest edition of the 519 magazine regarding their new single, BORN READY featuring Derek Sherinian and their trip to perform in New York. Check it out by clicking here, or on the image.
I am please to announce that my latest song BORN READY featuring Derek Sherinian will be release to all major streaming stores (including social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram) to make sure this song is available wherever or however, you listen to music on September 24th. The Band Of Brothers (John Kersey , Tim King , Paul Richard ) and I recorded the song at Highland Studios with Luc Michaud (Bigg Wiggle) at the helm. I am grateful for my band. They rocked this tune. I was very lucky to have Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion) to play B3 Hammond Organ on it. He emailed the track from his home studio in Los Angeles. What a treat it is to have him on my song. I am a huge fan of Derek's work. After Luc and I mixed the song, it was sent to Martin Bak at SLR Studios to be mastered. Now uploaded after the song completion. Also, Tim King and I have finished editing our BORN READY video that he recorded during the summer. He did an amazing job. Thanks to David Michael at Rock Star Music Hall for hosting and directing the concert footage. Many thanks to our fans and friends for participating in it. The video will be released at the same time as the new single. Stay tuned for more announcements!
I am please to announce that keyboard wizard Derek
Sherinian played on a song of mine, soon to be released.
He is an American keyboardist who has toured and
recorded for Alice Cooper, Billy Idol, KISS and Joe
Bonamassa, and many others. He was also a member of
Dream Theater from 1994 to 1999. That is when I discovered
him and Dream Theater, of course.
He is the founder of
Planet X and also one of the founding members of Black
Country Communion (that features Glen Hughes,
Jason Bonham and Joe Bonamassa) and Sons of Apollo
(that features Mike Portnoy, Ron Bumblefoot Thal,
Jeff Scott Soto and Billy Sheehan).
He has released nine solo albums that have featured a
variety of prominent guest musicians, including
guitarists Slash, Yngwie Malnsteen, Steve Vai to name a few.
I met Derek once in Toronto in 2020 when he was touring with
Sons Of Apollo. I had a chance to chat with him and get
the band 'S.O.A" autographed. Since then, I continue to
follow his career.
Who would have thought that years later, he would sent
me autographed CD of OCEANA in September 2023 and then
play on one of my songs just a few weeks later? He
recorded four different keyboard parts. He played
incredible B3 hammond organ, Mellotron (flutes and strings)
and cool Moog synth to embellish my song. I am
grateful he shared his talent with me. He told me I
wrote a very cool song and to send more his way.
Thanks again Derek!!
