I get asked a lot about what I play at the end of Eyes of a Stranger. Theses licks are actually the first thing I played when it was presented to me in 2006. They are licks that I had been working on. As with most first ideas, it was the most musical to me, so they stuck.

It was great to see my buddy Paul Batres at our show last night. Paul’s a great drummer who used to run San Jose Pro Drum where I taught for years. I don’t get to see hin much since he moved down to SoCal. Hope to cross paths again soon, my friend.

Friday, Nov 28, the day after Thanksgiving, 6-9 PM at the Poor House Bistro in San Jose, CA. I'll be making some great music with my friends, the incredible Maxx Cabello Jr. and Tim Allen! Join us for food and drink after your Black Friday shopping. It's gonna be a blast!

Messing with some shuffle ideas for a track I'm recording for a client. Shuffles are so fun to play, they have such a driving, uplifting feel and there are so many ways to play them. Just keep it swingin'! If you need drum tracks PM me or hit me up at MikeVanderhule.com.

Great to see my pal John Roth KILLING it on his new gig with Foreigner last night. He's the perfect fit, playing guitar, bass and singing his A$$ off. The new line-up is incredible! Good to hear a band singing and playing so well without any vocal tracks or a click track!
