The master drummer and percussionist with Bonerama, Lynn Drury, the Pimps of Joytime, and the Joe Krown Trio has also played with Anders Osborne, Tab Benoit, Karl Denson, and Ellis Marsalis. His recent kidney transplant, after over 10 years on dialysis, has given him a new lease on life and a long-overdue return to normalcy. With an intense festival season schedule looming, Eric finds some free time to catch up over cocktails. That new kidney will be working overtime cleaning out the toxins after his night with the Troubled Men.
