🎙️New Drawing South Episode: Drumming South with @jerrypentecost 🎧

@mikewindyart sits down with drummer, DJ, and all-aroundmusical powerhouse Jerry Pentecost for a special episode his son Joey calls “Drumming South” — and it's one for the books.

From reshaping his career to spend more time with his twindaughters and amazing partner Amy ❤️ to dropping everything for a whirlwind 24-hour gig in Nashville while on tour with Bob Dylan, Jerry shares the highs, the hard truths, and the heart that keeps him going.

Despite a resume that includes 6 years with Old CrowMedicine Show, Jerry is still asked to “prove” himself — a reality for black musicians in country music. He opens up about that too, including a 2022 Nashville Scene article where he interviewed 30 other individuals who worked in and around Broadway about systemic racism and abusein nightlife spaces.

But make no mistake — this is also a story about joy.Jerry’s deep love for music, his encyclopedic knowledge of country, rock, americana & hip-hop, and his passion for making people move — whether behind a drum kitor DJ booth — shine through every beat of this conversation.

🎧 Tap in and hear whythis isn’t just Drawing South... it’s Drumming South.
