ENGINEER & PRODUCER

MULTI-PLATINUM/GRAMMY AWARD WINNER

Worked with legendary music artists ...

TOMMY BOLIN ... MICK RONSON...BILLY COBHAM...STANLEY CLARKE...

JUDAS PRIEST...BRAND X...JACK BRUCE ...

and the list goes on and on ...

Legendary guitarist & songwrter Tommy Bolin’s Teaser album was recorded at The Record Plant in Los Angeles, CA in July 1975 with additional recording at Electric Lady Studios in New York (September), and Trident Studios in London (October). It was mixed at Trident Studios in London by Dennis MacKay.

Production credits went to Tommy Bolin and Lee Kiefer except for “People People” and “Marching Powder,” which were produced by Dennis MacKay. Those two tracks were done late to fill out the album out better and required Tommy and Dennis to travel back to Electric Lady to record the material. MacKay would go on to co-produce Private Eyes with Tommy in 1976.

Private Eyes/Tommy Bolin released in 1976. After recording finished at Cherokee the album was mixed at Trident Studios in London.

MacKay demonstrated great skill in editing and mixing the material, turning seven days of rapid recording by an unrehearsed band into an iconic album. Dennis MacKay would go on to engineer or produce a remarkable range of artists including Tommy Bolin, Jeff Beck, Judas Priest, Return to Forever, Billy Cobham, Brand X, Gong, Pat Travers, Al DiMeola, David Bowie, Mick Ronson, Jack Bruce, Whitney Houston and the list goes on and on ….

Mackay won a Grammy Award in 2010 for the Stanley Clarke Band Best Contemporary Jazz Album.

KENNY KRAMER THE REAL SEINFELD KRAMER SPECIAL GUEST ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS BBS RADIO

K E N N Y

K R A M E R

Larry David's neighbor across the hall

and model for Cosmo Kramer

THE REAL KRAMER

Portrayed by Actor Michael Richards

on S E I N F E L D

Exclusive on Interviewing the Legends

Kenny Kramer is the model for Cosmo Kramer, the unpredictable and affable bachelor who has trouble staying on his feet.
Prior to serving as Cosmo's model, Kenny had a long career as a stand-up comedian and was the manager of a British reggae band. During the disco years Kenny created an electronic jewelry item that sold so well that Kramer was able to live comfortably long after disco died.
For six years Larry David lived across the hall from Kenny. One day Jerry Seinfeld asked Larry for help creating a TV show. Jerry became famous, Larry became George and Kramer became Kramer.

For the past seventeen years, Kenny has been the host of Kramer's Reality Tour and Kramer's Reality Road Show. Here Kenny relies on his stand-up experience to entertain people from all over the world with the behind-the-scenes Seinfeld story. In New York the tour has a bus portion that goes to sites made famous on the show. Seinfeld even did an episode spoofing Kenny's tour when Cosmo Kramer started The Peterman's Reality Tour in "The Muffin Tops" episode.

In 2001 Kenny was the Libertarian Party's candidate for mayor of New York City. The last time Kenny ran for mayor he admits it was a publicity stunt but this time he said he's was in it to win it. His campaign slogan reflected that...KRAMER FOR MAYOR...THIS TIME I'M NOT KIDDING!!! Unfortunately, Kenny lost. He did however receive several thousand votes but he was relieved in that he was once again able to escape having to hold an actual job.
The Seinfeld Show, which airs nightly in ninety countries, continues to be one of the world's most popular sitcoms. As there are no new episodes being produced, Kenny's tours and stage shows provide Seinfans with the only new Seinfeld experience available. Even though the show has ended, Kenny has made it clear that he has no such intention. Kenny Kramer will continue to entertain and live his life. It's worked so far.

KRAMER'S

REALITY TOUR

Kenny has been the host of Kramer's Reality Tour and Kramer's Reality Road Show since
Seinfeld was on the air. He tells behind-the-scene stories to his audience and gives a bus tour of sites made famous by the show.

MAGNUM LEAD SINGER BOB CATLEY CHATS ABOUT 'THE SERPENT RINGS' AND TOUR ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS W/RAY SHASHO ON BBS RADIO

B O B C A T L E Y

ORIGINAL SINGER

with

BRITISH ROCK'S

M A G N U M

TALKS NEW ALBUM

entitled

'THE SERPENT RINGS'

and TOUR

EXCLUSIVE!

Magnum guitarist Tony Clarkin is a man who seems to never stop working. He is responsible for writing all the material released by the band, and on top of that he produces their albums from the very first demo to the final mix. On their latest album The Serpent Rings, Clarkin and Magnum’s other original member, vocalist Bob Catley, prove all over again just how perfectly this established system works.

Magnum have recorded eleven new songs which feature all the traditional strengths of the British act and also live up to the band’s ambition to explore a more rock-oriented direction.

The new album was recorded by the Magnum line-up consisting of Clarkin, Catley, keyboardist Rick Benton and drummer Lee Morris, plus their latest addition, bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic, among others), who joined the fold to replace Al Barrow.

Magnum’s major European tour has been scheduled to start in March 2020, initially with a number of headlining shows, to be continued by a first-rate package together with Gotthard from Switzerland. This extremely successful collaboration first passed the litmus test a few years ago, and Clarkin, Catley & Co. are very enthusiastic: “Along with some classic numbers, we will also present four or five songs from The Serpent Rings,” the band promises, providing even more reasons for their fans to mark the dates in their calendars.
