The Triumph machine is gearing up for a big return in 2026, and drummer Gil Moore was nice enough to come on the podcast and discuss where the band sits from a rehearsal, set list, and member point of view.

Of course, I had to ask Gil, a hockey fan, about the Winter Olympics and the fact that the United States and Canada could face off yet again for Gold. He’s been busy getting Triumph back up and running, so he admitted that he hasn’t seen a lot of it.

We did talk about rehearsals, the upcoming setlist, and production rehearsals. They’ll be going down to Florida for their first productions run throughs. He told the dichotomy of bringing along Brent Fitz, Todd Kerns, and Phil X as well. He said that Phil and Rik Emmett get along very well and have mutual respect and the skills they bring.

To round out this episode, it’s Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp founder, David Fishof. The camp is celebrating its 30 th anniversary this year, and bringing out a lot of rockers.

David has had the who’s who of rockers at the camp over the years and has many stories to share. The guy knows everyone! It was fascinating to speak with him for the first time, hopefully not the last. He wants me to make an appearance at a camp…ya know, as a tambourine player. LOL
