Hello everyone and welcome to Drum Channel. Billy Amendola here at DC East studios with my guest Rocky Bryant. 

Rocky is one of those players who has performed and or recorded with numerous amount of superstars but remains in the background, not one to rest on his laurels, his goal is to do his job and he does it well; in any genre.

He’s both a hired gun on the road as well as a recording artist, including his solo record. “The View From Here.” (featuring an excellent remake of the George Harrison track “I Want To Tell You.”) 

Over his long career, Bryant has recorded and or performed with Paula Abdul, he’s been a band member of the Family Stand, and Bradford Marsalis’ Buckshot LeFonque, he recorded with Dianne Reeves (recording her grammy award winning album), Peter Frampton, Cyndi Lauper, Daryl Hall and since 2016 a member touring and recording with Average White Band, among others. 

And if that wasn’t enough, he returned to the Broadway scene in 2019, to be on stage for “Tina, The Tina Turner Musical.” Let’s welcome Rocky to our Drum Channel family! 

Thanks everyone, and I’ll see you next time on Drum Channel! Enjoy!
