Since 1982, SilverFox sticks have outperformed competitors in balance, finish, and durability. And in spite of manufacturing for over 23 years, SilverFox is still one of the best kept secrets in the music industry.  With as much touring as we do, Tim needed a stick that was not only comfortable, but also “hits harder and lasted longer” just like the company’s slogan states.  And he found that with SilverFox.  We are proud to endorse SilverFox and welcome them into our family of tour support products.

I had not heard of the Dallas, Texas Celtic rock band The Killdares before I watched their recently released concert DVD Up Against the Lights. The first thing I noticed was the professional look.  There’s a polished, modern style to the editing that gives it the feel of an arena rock show.  The second thing that got my attention was the non-stereotypical songwriting evident in their originals.  I was halfway expecting standard songs about whiskey, murder and politics – you know…Celtic rock stuff – but actually what I picked up on was a 1960′s “smile on your brother” kinda vibe coming from drummer and lead vocalist Tim Smith’s lyrics.  Pleasantly surprised.  While the lyrics may have a folk-rock bent, musically The Killdares have more in common with Aerosmith or Led Zeppelin.
