Howdy, Here is the new Groove Coast podcast. Well, it seems like the film - 'The Matrix' feels somewhat real - did I take the Blue or the Red pill? Whichever one feels like we've been living in a virtual world since March.

Slowly things are re-connecting for our respective lives with teaching and session work. We asked one of our local friends to join us as our special guest this time. He's a Las Vegas-based pianist, composer, record label owner, and...well just check out his Bio :)
BTW - Uli Geissendoerfer, originally came to Las Vegas with Cirque du Soleil in 2009 :)

Uli, tells us about his background and all the fascinating music projects he has been involved in, what has been happening recently and what's on his upcoming horizon. Just grab a coffee, kick back and listen, to Uli, Jon and Darrell really get into it. Hear snippets of Uli's latest album, some of the artists on his label and much more...
