It’s about time for an update on what’s happening in Spin Doctors land these days… Well, according to Aaron, some one-off Spin Doctors 2010 gigs are already booked for the summer, and there are more to come.
Other than that, Chris Barron is busy with the Time Bandits – performing a lot with the Bandits, and the band is also recording some new stuff for another Chris Barron album. Also, Chris co-wrote a song with his old pals John Popper and Jono Manson for Popper’s up-coming solo album. According to Popper, it’s a song „about a popular ‘Sanford & Son’ beverage“. Mark White seems to be busy teaching bass guitar in Texas, and Eric Schenkman enjoys to jam with local Toronto musicians every once in a while – check this, this, this, this and this for some fresh Schenkman guitar action.
Aaron Comess is as busy as always – in 2009, he performed with a lot of local and national artists – from up-and-coming talents such as Danielle Levin and Katy Pfaffl to rock’n’roll legends like Elvis Costello and Tony Levin. In spring 2010, Aaron will tour the US with Joan Osborne once again, and in September and October of 2010, he’ll be part of Marius Müller Westernhagen’s touring band. Westernhagen is a best-selling German singer who will tour in support of his latest, New-York-recorded disc “Williamsburg”.
