Ep.200: Interview with JEFF KOLLMAN

George Dionne interviews guitarist JEFF KOLLMAN about his latest album 2023 A.D. Kollman discusses how the album links to guitar legend JEFF BECK, the stories behind the singles, the appearance of CHAD SMITH (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS), whether he and Chad will reunite in the BOMBASTIC MEATBATS, his axe of choice when recording the album, his COSMOSQUAD side project, why he missed out on JOE SATRINANI’s 2018 G3 tour, and how often he gets to perform his solo material live.

Kollman also discusses getting his gig with ALAN PARSONS via DAVID PACK (AMBROSIA), splitting his touring this year with Parsons, LOU GRAMM, and JOHN PAYNE’S ASIA, his work on the 1999 MOGG/WAY release Chocolate Box, getting offers to join UFO, NIGHT RANGER, JOHN MAYER, and others, his other studio based projects, and much, much more.
