"2007 &
2008 have brought some exciting new experiences for me -
I recorded with
George Benson/Al Jarreau on the title track of their joint CD,
'Givin It Up'. After that, we embarked on a 'Givin It Up' World
Tour that took
us to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, and
all over the U.S.A.
I'm also featured on Al Jarreau's first ever Christmas CD entitled,
'Christmas', released October 2008.
I've been endorsing Yamaha Guitars now for about 8 years and I've
been playing
some shows for them with Nathan East as musical director backing
up a cavalcade
of stars such as Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, John Legend, Michael
McDonald,
Dr. John, Earth Wind and Fire, and KD Lang, just to name a few.
My old friend, Eric Marienthal, who I've performed live with a
lot in the past, called
me to record with him on his latest CD, 'Just Around the Corner',
which
produced # 1 Smooth Jazz hit, 'Blue Water'.
I also played on Gregg Karukas' CD, 'Lookin Up', which produced
# 3 Smooth
Jazz hit, 'Girl in the Red Dress'.
I've recorded several tracks for upcoming projects by Gregg Karukas
and Freddie Ravel
and I recently recorded with Michael Lington on a new version
of 'Silent Night'
for a compilation for the NUGROOVE label.
During all this, I also did tours with George Benson, some Natalie
Cole shows, and
managed to complete my first Christmas CD, Michael O'Neill presents
The SoCal Singers
'The Voices Of Christmas', now available at CD Baby and Apple
iTunes.
I'm also nearing completion of a Solo Acoustic Guitar CD, so watch
for it as well soon.
Hope you all
have a Happy Holiday Season!
