Mike Orlando: Snap Jacks Musikmesse 2010

I caught up with Mike Orlando on the Snap Jacks stand. This is the same stand that Robert Marcello played on the previous year. Mike was in good mood, and highlighted his current work projects and touring opportunities. He also demoed his Vigier fretless guitar.

Mike is working on the release of his new CD Sonic Stomp II, which is due very soon.

Mike has also been working with Russell Allen of Symphony X fame and is set to appear on that album.

Mike has also started production and recording with an explosice new Trio which features Erik Leonhardt (Tantric) on Vocals & Bass and world renowned Drummer John Macaluso.

Mike just finished up a shooting short video lesson which will also feature Rusty Cooley & Oli Herbert of All That Remains entitled Rock Round Table for Premier Guitar.com. There will also be a full feature spread in Premier Guitar Magazine as well that will also include transcribed licks from Mike Orlando , Oli & Rusty Cooley as well.
