This has given him the opportunity to be a support act for artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eddie Money, Chicago, and Richard Marx. Although most of his touring is in Indiana, he has appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show and Late Show with David Letterman. He also married and raised four children during this period and successfully supported himself and his family with music since he was 17.

This expansive documentary released in 2024 vividly captures the Los Angeles music scene starting from the late-1980s to today, centering around a band that was hailed as the “next big thing” and you may have never heard of — Redd Kross.
The film gets into the mythology that grew around the band – their brushes with success, their giving the finger to the establishment, etc. In doing so, it explores what defines success. While they might not have become zillionaires or household names, they’ve done all right on their own terms.
You don’t need to know Redd Kross’ music to appreciate this movie. It’s funny, accessible, candid, and visually rich.
