Story4.5 out of 5 stars 23
While most successful sidemen are lucky to spend a decade in the music business, multi-instrumentalist Mark Rivera is working on his fifth. Rivera has shared the stage with some of Rock 'n' Roll's greatest performers, including John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Simon & Garfunkel, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Tony Bennett, Sheila E., Joe Walsh, Hall & Oates, and Peter Gabriel. How does he do it while avoiding the typical pitfalls—falling out of favor with the band, burnout, depression?

Good but could’ve been better

Obviously Mark is talented. And I figured he would talk a lot about his personal life. I just wished there was more details about the big artists he worked with. He does touch on them briefly but not a ton of info on the bands. But not a lot of inside stories.
So if you are expecting that it isn’t here. If u wanna hear about his own personal life you’ll be pleased. I think I was just expecting more personal band stories in the book.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
