DENNIS MACKAY LEGENDARY ENGINEER & PRODUCER TALKS ABOUT THE CRAFT AND ROCK HISTORY!

D E N N I S 
M A C K A Y
 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.

PHIL LANZON 'URIAH HEEP' KEYBOARDIST & SONGWRITER SPECIAL GUEST ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS W/RAY SHASHO-BBS RADIO

P H I L   L A N Z O N
PRODIGIOUS KEYBOARDIST 
AND SONGWRITER
with U R I A H  H E E P
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Classic Rock Icons URIAH HEEP 
to Embark on
2019 North American Tour
As Special Guests to Judas Priest




URIAH HEEP debuted in 1970 with the release of one of hard rock’s milestones, “Very 'eavy... Very 'umble” and have since sold in excess of 40 million albums worldwide. They constantly tour the world, playing up to 125 shows a year to 500,000+ fans. The band’s live set features the classic tracks from the '70s and is a musical journey from the band's beginnings to the present day.
Along with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Uriah Heep helped invent a decorative and uniquely British form of heavy metal.
Uriah Heep have been responsible for the most elevated and intelligent use of vocals in a heavy metal context amongst the major bands inventing the genre in the 1970s. It is for this reason Heep were coined the Beach Boys of Heavy Metal, and their influence is there for all to see in other bands including ‘Queen.’ They were also one of the forerunners of using the Hammond organ along with Micks signature wah wah guitar and this became the template for their sound.
Success has followed the forging of such an audacious formula. Across 25 studio albums, along with myriad live releases and compilations, Uriah Heep have managed to sell 40 million records worldwide, four million of those in the US. Impressive American numbers, but that leaves 36 million records to be sold in the rest of the world, underscoring the fact that Uriah Heep have become, through their relentless dedication to touring, a truly global band, with particular success in Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Eastern Europe and Russia, where they were the first Western rock band to play live in Moscow in December 1987 to 180,000 people.
Through their success as Rock n’ Roll pioneers this enabled other bands to follow in their wake and Russia is now part of every bands touring schedule.

In celebration of the release of their 25th studio album, Living the Dream, classic rock icons URIAH HEEP will join fellow British rock icons JUDAS PRIEST on an extensive North American tour. Kicking off on May 3rd in Hollywood, FL, the trek will run through June 29th in Las Vegas.
Uriah Heep has sold in excess of 45 million albums worldwide and performed over 4000 shows in some 60 countries.
