Let’s fly away with this week’s guest, the multi-talented guitar shredding & Frank Sinatra singing Mark Tremonti!
Right off the bat we jump into Mark & Johnny’s shared passion for big band music, most notably Frank Sinatra. Mark explains how he was able to assemble Frank’s original band to record the Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra album, and what that experience was like. Mark also reveals how he was able to get the Sinatra family on-board for this project and how it supports resources and advocacy for the Down syndrome community.
We touch on Alter Bridge’s latest release, Pawns & Kings, and the upcoming tour cycle to support the record. Mark shares some of his favorite (and least favorite) past performances, including a stint on Saturday Night Live complete with a Will Farrell interaction. With recent rumblings from Scott Stapp about a possible Creed reunion, Johnny gets down to the facts with Mark - is a Creed reunion on the books?
We also learn on this episode:
• How Mark began singing like Sinatra
• If Mark is able to remember every guitar solo he’s written
• Why one-off reunion shows aren’t easy
• Where you can catch Mark’s next Sinatra shows
