NAMM 2012: Current Lady Gaga bassist invited me to Roland’s all-star jam, where I got to share the stage with many gifted musicians.

Here’s a picture of Scott Tibbs (Roland), Brocket Parsons (Lady Gaga Keyboardist), Valdez Brantley (Usher’s MD & keyboardist), Kern Brantley (Lady Gaga bassist), Adrian Crutchfield (Saxophonist).

A couple more pictures of the crew. Pictured: Isaiah Fogle, Tyra Juliette, Kapp Ivory, Scott Tibbs, Spanky McCurdy, Kern Brantley, Valdez Brantley, and Patrick Lamb.

Here’s a video from one of the two jams:
