Today on LET THERE BE TALK it's all Rock N Roll with my guest photographer Cody Smyth.

Cody was there from day 1 of The Strokes and took photos for over 10 years and now he has put that collection of photos together in a book called THE STROKES the first 10 YEARS.

This book absolutely blows my mind. To be able to see photos of The Strokes from the ground up and document it as they were about to explode is so cool.

Tune in and enjoy this Kick ass NYC conversation.

Today I sit down with some Rock N Roll legends Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie and Deen Castronovo and discuss one of the hottest touring acts of 2019 "JOURNEY THROUGH TIME"

I saw this group Saturday night and I cannot stress this enough you must see this band.

It was an honor to sit down with Neal and Gregg who are 2 time Rock n Roll Hall of Famers. Being inducted with Santana and Journey.

Deen Castronovo is hands down one of the best Drummers I have ever seen and now he is also singing all the Steve Perry parts live and just Crushing it.

I honestly feel that Neal, Gregg and Dean are 3 of the greatest musicians ever to play Rock N Roll.

 

Long Live Brody Stevens.

I loved Brody and learned so much from this man over the years.

He was one of the best Comedians I had ever seen.

Brody was the definition of Rock N Roll.
