Denis Leary & the Enablers, Peter Frampton & I perform “Asshole”

I have always been a big supporter of Road Recovery and knew it would be a great collaboration when we decided to do a benefit at 315 Bowery NYC on their behalf.  Road Recovery is a non-profit organization of entertainment industry professionals whose lives have been touched by addiction and now  help young people work toward a healthy future through performance based-programs. We had Denis Leary & The Enablers along with Peter Frampton perform. The night was a success - we had a full house and were able to raise more than $20,000 for Road Recovery. You can check out their website at www.roadrecovery.org.

Denis Leary and his band, The Enablers, took the stage and treated the sold out crowd to such Leary classics as "A**hole" and "Traditional Irish Folk Song" as well as a soon to be classic version of the Faces song "Ooh La La" substituting the lyrics for "I wish that they had all of these drugs, when I was younger."

The crowd heard many of his classics; "Baby I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do?” Frampton closed his set with a beautiful rendition of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

After our stellar encore performance of "Asshole" I got to chat in the trailor with Denis and Peter.  Here we are deciding who is the biggest Asshole.  What do you know...it was a three way tie!
