I dunno, I would say Sonny T and Petar Janjic are just as good, if not even better for my money. The latter has the benefit of the rest of Cory's band, too, which is by far my current favorite band overall. The last two Cory Wong concerts I went to have completely blown me away. They are incredible! That's not to say I would be disappointed, by any means, having to sit through a Joe Dart and Nate Smith set. It's win win either way!
