Growing up on opposite coasts of the US, Jeff and Kent didn’t meet each other until later in life. With over 55 years combined in the music industry; producing, touring, and performing with many artists, the pair finally met in 2006. Their sense of humor collided, and they instantly bonded over the stories of their road experiences. While their careers have taken very different routes, once they crossed paths, they knew after working together that they shared a connection that rarely is seen in any industry.
Soon they realized that they had seen so much of the industry; the idea of a fictious tour could be fun to write about, with the right element added. That element was murder. Murder on a rock and roll tour loaded with satire on the industry that they already thought was humorous. They started penning ideas back in 2009; created characters and scenarios with the intension of making one another laugh. Soon they were writing one chapter after another with ideas that they developed over numerous phone calls and an occasional meeting over a beer.
As time moved on, they had what was the basic building blocks for half a novel. But both became busy with other projects and the writing process slowed down. The phone calls continued, and the ideas flowed as the two became addicted to their stories. It was agreed that at some point when they had more time, they would continue to finish the manuscript.
Then Covid 19 reared its ugly head and there was time. While not much else in the world was moving, Jeff and Kent were on the phone almost daily. Their ideas kept flowing and soon they had enough material not just for one novel, but for
several. Now well into their third novel, they are proud to release their second titled, Tones, Clones, and Bones.
Jeff: “Having seen it all on the road, it was fun to take that knowledge and create something that people will enjoy. This book follows our first book ‘Are We A Bus?’. The characters continue and life moves on for them. I hope everyone that reads this enjoys it and laughs out loud just as Kent and I did while creating it.”
Kent: ”To say that I’ve lived the rock and roll dream, would be an understatement. What I have seen on tour is far funnier than This is Spinal Tap ever was. I hope to live a few more years in the arena.”
