I’m so honored to be part of Steve Brown’s amazing project Songs for Neil, Vol. VII, performing One Little Victory together with the excellent musicians of Ensemble 2150—alongside a lot of great bands from all over the world contributing to the album 🙏.

Just the thought of playing Rush tunes live is mind-boggling. Being invited to take part in RUSHfest Scotland last year was already surreal. For those who don’t know, RUSHfest is an annual fan convention in Scotland celebrating the music of Rush—while raising significant funds for charity, with well over £150k donated since 2014.

Now getting the chance to step into the shoes of a true giant and legend, Neil Peart… I almost don’t have words.

The project is part of a series of tribute albums released after Neil Peart’s passing in 2020, all approved by Neil’s estate.

Songs for Neil, Vol. VII will be released this coming fall.

I can't recommend this interview enough. What a great interview and a great listen. ❤️ Geddy–one of a kind–so down-to-earth, humble and an outstanding musician.

The Geddy Lee Interview In this interview, I finally get the chance to sit down with Rush frontman and legendary bassist Geddy Lee. We talk about some of my favorite songs from Rush...

Engineer. Producer. Drummer.
Building sound from both sides of the glass, somewhere between microphones, cymbals and controlled chaos. Ah...and those Slingerlands. 🔥

Sunday matinée at Himmel with Classic Album Sundays Oslo — a full listening session of RUSH's Moving Pictures on vinyl.

There’s something quietly powerful about setting aside time to truly listen — no interruptions, no algorithms, just music.
