He sure seems happy about his gig and he's got a mean groove. Lovely.

Fun!

Huh. I think of Eric Krasno in connection with Soulive and Lettuce. This a side project of his? Sounds kinda like Soulive.

He's awesome. He's also HUGE and make his bass look like a short scale toy. LOL

Love his attitude. He's having lots o' fun!

His playing bubbles over with this fun attitude too. His lines are solid but yet playful.

Wish I had that much stage energy! I'm always afraid I'm going to look foolish if I move around and get in to the music too much.

This guy needs to be shown to the various "stage presence" threads.
