The inaugural Bubba Bash in 2023, dubbed as such in Neil’s nickname, was a joint effort of YYNOT’s Tim Starace and Neil Peart’s long time friend and security provider, Michael Mosbach. Together, they assembled an all-star group of Neil’s friends, who all brought forth their palpable love and devotion to one of the greatest drummers of all time.
With no advance rehearsals, except for a quick run-thru the day of the show, the dedication and professionalism brought to the stage is remarkable. Here is a sampling of how prepared each and every artist is when they hit the stage: https://bit.ly/4ePwSFZ
Anchored by YYNOT, with Billy Alexander on guitar, Mike Hetzel on drums, Adi Argelazi on vocals, Tim Starace on bass, along with an exceptional lineup of guest artists, Bubba Bash 2025 in honor of Neil Peart promises to once again be truly triumphant.
