hey my name is Michael Geghan and I'm out here with Roger Hodgson and his
incredible band and guest starring the new Roland aerophone that I just
fortuitously came across in rehearsals in Belgium recently and was playing it
in concert two days later so this thing is the most ergonomically sound
comfortable close to saxophone playing instrument of the future that I've ever
tried what I really dig about this is that living in hotel rooms
I will not practice my saxophones because it's just people are sleeping so
this thing on a plane or in my hotel room I just plug my headphones in and
it's absolutely perfect for shedding and just working on new material that's
unbelievable
[Music] we have a couple of spots in the in the
in the setlist that have this kind of Celtic vibe and so like this Uilleann pipe
[Music]
[Music] you know soundman mixes it perfectly he
got that 12 string acoustic guitar sounds like he's hiding in the back and
my RD-2000 is my absolute favourite new keyboard I am gonna be using this thing
it links up perfectly with mainstage and just I couldn't be happier with my entire
setup I've been very lucky to have longtime relationships with I've been
working with Justin Timberlake for a long time Andrea Bocelli and the
Bocelli family Roger Hodgson of course i got really lucky in my earlier years
with my first big gigs with Elton John and Keiko Matsui for about eight or nine
years and just some really really world-class writers and singers and
performers and obviously the bands that tour with these artists just fantastic
world class people are world-class musicians so it's been it's been a
pretty good ride and I'm looking forward to more this Roger Hodgson tour is an
absolute pleasure than that you know those classic songs and a
bunch of just just killer people and killer musicians on the shows every
night are just an absolute pleasure and I'm really stoked to have in my arsenal
the Roland Aerophone my horns and the new one this one yeah I
haven't seen this one before today but it's like
so fun so this is the Aerophone GO this is the travel
companion it doesn't get sick it doesn't yell at you I love it so crisp so crisp
dig it
