Very excited to be hosting Manas Itene (Drummer for Michael Franti and Spearhead) at the The Drum Loft this month. I toured with Michael & Manas back in 2018 when I was performing with Dustin Thomas. I learned a lot on the road from these guys and their team. It’s a big vision of mine to create a space at the loft where drummers can come and share their passion with our community. Would love to see some friends come out and support. And can’t wait to make some new friends too!
