In August 2015, he performed at Riki Rachtman's's Cathouse Live, a festival that reunited many of the bands from the Cathouse nightclub's heyday, held at Irving Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine, CA. Later in the year, he served as musical director at the Rock and Shock horror and music festival in Worcester, Massachusetts.[6][7]
