For these sessions, Grubbs, who has been prominently featured in national and international publications such as Guitar World, Guitar FPM and Guitar (Japan), has enlisted an array of well-known musical artists to record on his new CD.

�I am very excited about how the CD is coming out!�, says Grubbs . �It's even better than I hoped. I feel like I have achieved a nice balance between chops and composition. The CD is to me the culmination of all my years in music to this point � I have worked really hard to make the best album I can with no concessions towards trends, genres or anything else."

Derek Sherinian from prog-rock giants Dream Theater and Planet X appears on three tracks. �He is truly a world class musician and a total pro,� compliments Grubbs. �He has a fantastic sense of melody and the technical ability to play anything. Derek is also an extremely cool guy who's very easy to work with and completely down to earth.�

Also legendary Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention keyboardist Don Preston has lent a hand. Preston, who is best known for his work with Zappa, Carla Bley, The Residents, Grande Mothers, and John Carter, as well as a his own solo work, will be recording his signature keyboards on a track. �Don Preston's contribution is amazing!,� Grubbs exclaims. �He is playing better than ever as well as being a legend � I feel like I have a Beatle on my disc!�

Also featured on the new Todd Grubbs CD is Chris Poland of rock legends Megadeath and OHM. �Getting Chris to do a guitar solo was a big deal for me as he is one of my absolute favorite current players�, says Grubbs.

Other musicians that appear: �John Wesley (Porcupine Tree) and Ralph Santolla (Obituary) are good friends of mine as well as being incredible players,� says Todd, �and they both made contributions to this project.�; Mark Prator of Iced Earth/John Wesley and Sean Malone of Gordian Knot also contribute drums and bass respectively to several tracks. �Sean is one of the best bass players around with an innate musical sense and chops for days, �raves Grubbs. �Mark plays some great drums on a number of tracks and is also mixing the CD. Mark is a musical giant!�; Also, Patrick Bettison of Acoustic Alchemy, who Grubbs describes as a brilliant musician with a great sound and feel, plays bass on a few songs.
