This episode originally aired on April 16, 2015 (episode #100)

In this podcast I sat down with the one and only, Gregg Bissonette.  Gregg’s reputation proceeds him, stemming from his work with Ringo Starr, Santana, Spinal Tap,Toto, Matt Bissonette, Maynard Ferguson, David Lee Roth, James Taylor, Don Henley, Tania Maria, Gino Vinelli, Electric Light Orchestra, Andy Summers, The Pat Boone Heavy Metal Big Band, Linda Ronstadt, Gino Vanelli, The Kottonmouth Kings, and Duran Duran….and that’s just the beginning of the list! Gregg Bissonette is a  true chameleon by his a ability to play any style at a moments notice, which is why his phone is always ringing for recording sessions, movie scores, tours and more.
