This was a great tour, and my first real experience in South America so I was stoked to be there! Backed up the great Don Carlos of course, along with another great artist, Everton Blender. Played 5 great shows in Lima, Buenos Aires, Mar Del Plata, Cordoba, and Rosario. I love touring with Don since his music is so popular all over the world. People are so touched by his music and it’s great to be a part of the show.
Did the solo horn section thing with my trusty Whammy pedal (though I was missing my broken Boss Pitch Shifter).. But for the horn players out there, here’s my unpaid endorsement: the AMT pickup horn mic is the BEST out there for live sound. Get ready to sound completely natural.
I took tons of pics with my new camera so check’em out on my facebook page
