ABOUT

I've played music for many years, but I'm not a know it all, let's get that right, but I'm good at what I do. I played drums primarily and for some pretty awesome groups so I'm pretty comfortable in the live setting. I've recorded several albums, so I know how studio goes. Lately I have been delving into learning more, loving the mandolin, guitar both classical and accoustic. Created my studio using Ableton Live, perfecting my playing and recording, loving every minute. Would love to jam with like minds!

Influences

Gosh where do I begin, I love Americana, Country, good ole classical rock n roll, soul, R&B, pop, originals, so I'm kind of all over the place. My 1st love for a drummer was for Stewart Copeland, just really loved his style, tasty!! I also think Carter Beauford has crazy skills, there are so many drummers that are just incredible. I've seen million dollar hands playing to large crowds and I've seen locals that can play so incredibly well, just haven't gotten that well deserved break I'm a lover of music that is melodic, has a story to tell, and I love the ones who can deliver, you do all of that you are someone I admire and am influenced by. My name is Joni, if you think of Joni Mitchell then you are spot on, she is amazing!!
