TOTO’s Dennis Atlas opens the vault on the most intense chapter of his career so far.Just five weeks after getting the call (while ordering pizza in Iowa), he walked onstage in Luxembourg in front of 20,000 people as the newest member of TOTO. At the same time he was writing and releasing his deeply personal solo album PRINCIPLE — largely created in hotel rooms and on tour buses between shows.In this conversation we go inside:• The dual reality of TOTO tours + solo album • The hour before showtime • What it takes mentally and emotionally to hold your own in a band with 50 years of history • The first notes of that Luxembourg debut • Bringing PRINCIPLE songs to the stage • What the stage gives that nothing else canA must-listen for anyone who loves live music, classic rock, or the human side of performing.Sponsored by Musicologie – simply delightful music lessons at ⁠⁠⁠⁠musicologie.com⁠⁠⁠⁠.
