Sheryl Crow has a new album out, Detours, and the band recently returned from Europe & continues to tour in the US throughout August. Fantastic press continues to roll in! Check out the links/details below. Wally recently checked in from the road & mentioned that he is really digging the openers, James Blunt & Toots & Maytals. Wally also had a great time jamming after the show in Green Bay for a surpise birthday event for Pat MacDonald (Timbuk 3). The show was organized by blues guitar great Chris Aaron & also on the gig were my old pals Tony Brown and Pauli Ryan as well of a host of great local talent. Anyone out there on FACEBOOK? Wally has recented joined & you can view his profile HERE! Also, a feature about Wally appears in Modern Drummer Magazine as Wally has an article by Dave Stanoch in the June issue.

Modern Drummer Magazine: Wally Ingram - Back With a Little Help from His Friends - by Dave Stanoch

What a difference a year can make. In January 2007, Wally Ingram was finishing up brutal chemotherapy and radiation treatments, battling for his life against the Squamous Cell Cancer that had invaded his throat and neck. At the end of that month, while awaiting the results of his treatment, he was able to participate in a star-studded benefit concert in his honor, organized by Uber-producer/drummer Butch Vig and Bonnie Raitt, that featured Butch's band Garbage, Bonnie, Sheryl Crow, Jackson Browne, Keb' Mo', Crowded House, George Clinton, and many others, in Glendale, California.

"It was a powerful night," Wally reflects, "the incentive to be there and play got me through some really tough days. The event itself was magical. The outpouring of love from the artists and the audience was overwhelming. It put wind in my sails to fight on." In June, Wally learned that he is cancer-free with a clean bill of health.
