Zmartin57 + Musician in Lakeville, MN

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a drummer who recently moved back to the Twin Cities and looking to start a project with like-minded musicians. Open to cover bands, original material, or a combination.

I'm looking to play rock, funk, R&B, blues, and jam-band material.

I'm an experienced, intermediate drummer who has played 100+ gigs in 20+ venues including DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, northern Virginia, Cleveland, Jefferson City (MO), Austin (TX), Mexico City, and Queretaro (MX) .

I've also recorded four EPs with three bands (Inner Ear Studio in Virginia (twice) and Ivakota Studio in DC (twice)).

My top five gigs include:
-Hell and Heaven Festival (March 2020, northern Mexico City)
-El Plaza Condesa (Sept 2019, Mexico City)
-Union Stage (Sept 2019, DC)
-The Far Out (March 2022, Austin, TX)
-DC9 (2018-2021, DC)

I maintain strong connections in the DC area, in particular.

Feel free to reach out anytime to exchange ideas of possible collaborations.
