WPKN’s A-List Sam Hopkins and Vinnie Audinot interview noted drummer- Nikki Glaspie from the band The Nth Power. Her drumming roots go back to her church days when she was 8 years old. She went to Berklee in Boston and has drummed with many major acts including being a part of Beyonce’s all-girl touring band for several years.

From their Nth Power’s website:

“Seeing the newest, hottest musical project known as The Nth Power perform live is going to change your life. They will inspire you to dance, groove, make love, or just stand there with goose bumps. It is extremely challenging to define exactly what single type of music that The Nth Power represents and what musical genre they should be classified in. They will grab your attention and your imagination, taking you on a euphoric space cruise that visits the planets known as Funk, Jazz, Neo-Soul, R&B, Gospel and World-Beat
