ABOUT

Looking for a few things for different projects:

A drummer for a female fronted pop/rock/funk/soul cover band called Trash Apples. We were in regular rotation in Minneapolis, pre-pandemic, and well… you know how it goes. Coming out of lockdown, we found ourselves in need of a solid drummer. We rehearse on the east side of St. Paul.

And then, looking to write originals in a rock/folk/alternative vein. Looking for a collaborator or two on that front. Hope to find a great drummer, have always been drawn to cello, a solid keyboard player…

Drummers whose styles and sensibilities that I really like include people like Jimmy Chamberlin, Darrin King, and Josh Freese.
