Carmine Rojas.?

[bubinga5]

He's playing in Evesham. I've never heard of him.? His name rings a bell, didn't he play with Joe Bonnamassa.?

[Geek99]

Whitesnake, I thought ?

[ezbass]

Currently with Joe Bonamassa, but I reckon his most famous gig was with Bowie on Let's Dance.

[casapete]

Rod Stewart / Bowie IIRC?

[Sam W]

Bub, where and when is CR playing?

[SICbass]

Toured with Bowie for years. I think maybe connected to Carlos Alomar who was Bowie's guitarist and MD for a good while.

You may be thinking of drummer Carmine Appice who played with John Sykes,ex of Whitesnake, in Blue Murder!

And yes Bub, details details!!! I love his playing with Bonamassa and would love to see him!!!

Evesham isn't far from me - where's he playing?

There is another thread on this, just noticed. The webpage says every bass player within 50 miles should attend. I qualify on distance, need more practice

I think they may have parted ways now, I had JB tickets brought for me for a gig in March and it wasn't Carmine playing.
Was a bit gutted as that was the only thing I was looking forward too.

i think it depends on the material he is playing and scheduling as well. he has a couple of go to bassists and drummers that seem to rotate in and out depending on what material he is touring.

that said, i hadn't seen Rojas on the recent stuff so wondered if he may be off doing other things now.

**doing some more research it does appear that he finished his run with bonamassa last year**

I know him from Stevie Salas and the Colorcode/Electric Pow Wow projects. I think Salas and Rojas became associated when they played for Rod Stewart about 25 years ago.

Not to be a pedant but Michael Rhodes is playing bass for Bonamassa these days...
