"I played 'Cliffs of Dover' for the band and they were like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Low recalls. "I just played the intro for them, and he [Johnson] said, 'Wow, you're good!'"
But wait, there's more!
Low also joined premier Pink Floyd tribute band El Monstero on stage at the Pageant late last month. Low previously had watched his uncle Jerry Boschert -- known for playing with Trixie Delight, Lex Luthor, Kung Fu Cavemen and other local bands -- perform with the band during the guitar solo to "Money," and Low became determined to follow in his footsteps.
"I made a video covering every part of the song -- all the guitar solos and even the saxophone solo -- and I sent it to El Monstero's bassist Kevin [Gagnepain]," Low explains. Nothing happened immediately, but a few months later, Boschert invited Low and Gagnepain to perform Floyd's "Time" with him and his band during a birthday party. Impressed with what he heard, Gagnepain offered the holiday "Money" solo to Low.

"It was truly amazing. When I went out there, the strings just played themselves," Low remembers about his time with El Monstero. "Hopefully I'll be back next year. Those guys are all amazing."
For now, the classic rock enthusiast will continue performing with the School of Rock house band and is looking forward to another run at being a SoR national AllStar. He's also booking gigs with his own pop-rock duo Irie Sun and is planning to release original albums this year.
"Music is my life, so I'll be a musician forever," Low says. "Being on stage, that's just where I feel at home."
