2017 - 2018 Keeping me very busy!

In February 2018 I went on Cruise to the Edge again with Dave Kerzner's band and Durga. (Here I am on the shores of Costa Maya near Mexico, with Native Mayans dressed in traditional clothes for the tourists.)  We sailed from Tampa to Belise too. Now I'm in Europe with the Australian Pink Floyd we we have a great schedule touring the US and Canada in the fall and the UK in Winter. Click the photo for tour dates and updates.


Last year was a world wind of touring with the Aussie Floyd in the United States, Canada, Europe and ended in the UK.



In between that I went to Brazil with UmmaGumma the Brazilain Pink Floyd. They took me on a fabulous trip to Ipanema the world famous beach in Rio De Janero. We toured several cities. I sang in Sau Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre, and Vicoga.

I met these beautiful Brazilian boys on Ipanema beach and asked them to pose for a photo. Here I am in Sao Paulo with Ummagumma.

Ummagumma The Brazilian Pink Floyd with me 2017 backstage. Isabela and Bruno Morais lead this band. Their Mother sings with the backing vocalists. It's a family affair. I go back in June 2018 for 2 shows. 

 

Durga and I went to Argentina and toured with the Argentine Ummagumma in June 2017. 

We had a great time with them! We also did another Master Class at Tamaba School of Music. 

We did a charity gig for Breast Cancer in Italy. Gary Wallis and Scott Page from the Pink Floyd touring band joined us.

Durga and I also sang in Chieti with our friend Moira.

I ended the year with Durga in Guatemala in November. 

2017 HAS ME TRAVELING A LOT!

In February 2017 Durga and I joined the Dave Kerzner band again on Cruise to the Edge and we set sail to Cozumel Mexico. 



Here's the Dave Kerzner band- Marc Dorsey, Derrick Citron, Dave Kerzner, Lorelei McBroom, Durga McBroom and Fernado Perdomo. My old friend from my Rolling Stones days Teri Orsburn (seated below us) came for a vacation. She was an assistant to Bill Wyman on his last Stones tour STEEL WHEELS/ URBAN JUNGLE back in 1990 and we've been friends ever since. We had a blast!

Steve Hackett pictured here with Dave Kerzner and I,  was a featured artist on the cruise and a guest artist on Dave's CD NEW WORLD. Steve did some powerful sets and he's a doll! Billy Sherwood (YES, ASIA) joined Dave's band on the cruise Pool Stage. He's a very cool dude.

Next stop - Europe with the Aussie Floyd March 1st - April 15th, 2017. Our newest band memebers Ricky Howard and Chris Barnes (pictured with me below) are a pure delight! Ricky's timing is impecable. Chris is also a truly solid vocalist and he plays guitar a bit with us too. They have inhanced my joy with their contributions to our sound. Tom Mumby has revamped the light show and all the updates are upgrades for our fans to keep it fresh. We tour the US and Canada this summer and the UK in the fall. Check for dates and updates. here - http://www.aussiefloyd.com

Late May into early June 2017 I will be Brazil with Ummagumma the Brazilian Pink Floyd .



See LATIN AMERICA page for dates and ticket links. I'll join Durga again in Argentina in June with Ummagumma the Argentinian Pink Floyd Tribute pictured below form our 2015 tour.



Durga and I have a special charity event this summer in Italy that I will detail later. Once the Aussie Floyd UK tour is finished I will go to Guatemala with Durga to sing with Pink Floyd Sinfonico Tributo again in November. I finish the year's touring schedule with Durga and solo artist Steffen Schultz Jensen in Denmark this December and a special News Eve gig in Italy I will share more about in another post. Busy 2017 for sure!

ON THE THE RECORD

The New Year is breaking tradition for me. At this time of year I am usually leaving to tour Europe, but this year the Aussies will tour France and Germany without me. The Paris terror attacks and generally depressed global economy forced the band to consolidate touring expense. I've been invited to join them in the summer for the U.S./Candaian tour and the fall U.K. tour, so my time has been opened up to pursue my other interests and continue to refine my solo aspirations.

Durga and I have been recording for some time now when we're able to come together in the same city with our producer Dave Kerzner. Back in November after the Cruise to the Edge, we spent some quality time in the studio, cutting tracks for our forecoming CD. I finally got to record an original of mine that I'm loving! I also got to revisit Pink Floyd's HAVE A CIGAR. It came out great! I plan to return to South America and hope to make it back to Italy as well. 

In the coming weeks I will update this site to include photos and videos from last summer's tour in Argentina with Ummagumma, photos and videos from Cruise to the Edge, and our rehersal work with Dave Kerzner.

This unexpected schedule change also allows me to focus on McBroom Media LLC my new company. I hope to introduce a project I've had in the works in 2016! I'm excited and will be sharing more as things continue to develop.
