Classic Stingray Meets the Boss

[Derek]

Our good friend and Luke's ex-bass player Carlitos got the call last week to do a gig!

Bruce Springsteen at the Stone Pony!

Seems like Springsteen who is taking the year off cannot stay away from the stage. So stingray in hand Carlitos heads out to NJ to play over 3 hours of tunes with the Boss, Max Weinberg, Southside Johnny ect. According to Carlitos, Bruce was loving the tone of the Stingray and made comments about his bass tone all night. He even got a bass solo in one of the tunes.. Carlitos is on the new Luke Cd...Touring with Chris Botti ect. We wish him the best!

That's slightly better than the pickup gigs I get.

Pretty cool.

I'm a Jersey boy myself, and always hear of Bruce making secret appearances at the Stone Pony. He's been doing that for YEARS...sorry I missed it.

Yeah, sweet gig, sweet bass.

Carlitos is a wonderful bassist

I saw him with Luke the last time they came through CT and I was floored by
his monster playing!
