Xer brought classic rock covers and originals to a private group gathering for 3 evenings at the former Southport Line restaurant for the first NCAA basketball tournament weekend March 20th through March 22nd 2025 in Biloxi, MS.  The former Southport Line restaurant is only a few blocks from several casinos and a Waffle House with a view of the Gulf of Mexico! "Mans" made his debut as a lounge singer on What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.

April 21st thru April 24th, 2025 - As a hotel guest with access to the Prestige Lounge, Xer plays from his song list for about 5 hours total over the course of 3 evenings for Prestige Lounge guests.    

June 17th and June 19th, 2025 - Xer debuts The Rain Song (Led Zeppelin) and Even in the Quietest Moments (Supertramp) for the first time in public amidst several hours of enjoyable unplugged classic rock. 

No not at The Sphere. LOL  At the 23rd Floor Lounge at the Pilazzo...  Kenny Chesney was at The Sphere.   High temp in Vegas reached 110 degrees this week, efficient excercise walking weather.  This is a view of The Sphere from the 23rd floor of the Pilazzo hotel.    

Muscatine, Iowa
August 7th through 10th, 2025, featured Xer and other musicians, way out in the sticks for an event eventually dubbed The 2 Chef Glamping Weekend.  OK, yeah, we were at a wilderness area not far from civilization.  The event was supposed to pull in all of the authors and contributors to the single, RepoMan, and 3 keyboard players for a jam session reunion, with folks from Schaumburg, IL, Lake in the Hills, IL, Baltimore and Muscatine.  But not everyone could make it, so another reunion could be in the cards.

   

Sept 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2025 - Xer adds to the excitement at the Prestige Lounge for a few days in advance of the Eagles arrival (to continue their ongoing residency at Las Vegas Sphere). Several Eagles fans were in Vegas and staying at The Venetion or The Palazzo a few days early and enjoyed the unplugged classic rock going on in the Prestige Lounge during happy hours.  Here is a picture of the Steinway Baby Grand piano during a quiet afternoon.  Look up and click play on this site to hear a recording of The Rain Song made during a practice session in the Prestige Lounge on a quiet afternoon.
