Chris Sligh

Chris Sligh appears on 8 songs on “Rust”. He was a top-10 finalist on the sixth season of American Idol, and has released 14 albums since 2001. He captured exactly what I was looking for on these songs, and I can’t thank him enough.

Sean Perry

Sean Perry has been a long-time musical partner to me. We have an instant connection when it comes to music, and I’m thrilled that he sings on “You Don’t Know Me” - a real departure from the rest of the album.

Alex Wakim

Alex Wakim appears on the last song on the album, “Broken” - a classical piano piece I wrote in college. Alex is a successful New York-based film and stage composer. The first time I heard Alex play, I was stunned. His captivating playing should be experienced by everyone, and he made this piece come to life beyond what I could have imagined.

dUg Pinnick

dUg Pinnick is a lifelong friend who happens to play in my all-time favorite band - King’s X. dUg plays bass on “Lifeboats” on Rust. He has experienced 40 years of success in the industry and is credited by many grunge-era bands in starting that movement. Once you’ve experienced dUg’s vocals and bass playing, you realize you’ll never experience anything like it again.
