 "I had the pleasure of playing with Kyle at the O2 in Newcastle UK on March 3, 2015. He and his band learned a full set of my songs (which are not easy, gaaahhhh!), and nailed everything with chemistry and comfort after only meeting on show day and playing that evening. He was a pro from the first time we spoke via email and then Skype, he was on top of preparations and communication, and a pleasure to work with well before ever getting in the same room together and hitting the stage. He’s done the work, in every way - he’s a fantastic showman (the ladies love him, ha!), and he stood out as a real VIP on the stage. I had long-time Bumblefoot fans after the show make the point to tell me, “seeing you with Kyle brought it to an even higher level.” Not only would I play with Kyle again, and recommend Kyle, but I honestly feel a bit of a loss to not be playing with him. He’s THAT valuable. And I know he’s going to have a great future, and he has my support in whatever he does."
