Groove can be learned and Frank Sardella, veteran drummer since 1978, and his guests, are going to show you how!falseepisodichttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/e13-drums-loops-stacy-s-mom-sequel-mia-morris-miamorrismusic--58760232Who posted on Instagram in November about a pop-up show in NYC's East Village date coincident with my few weeks there that made me cancel my plans and hop the subway downtown to catch her play for a half hour? You guessed it, Mia Morris! This is the interview you don't want to miss. You're welcome in advance! Find out why I not only followed her as a drummer but was taken in by her unique abilities to not only play all instruments but to loop all instruments and play studio versions of her songs, on stage, LIVE in her "One Woman Show". Having rubbed elbows with the likes of Fountains of Wayne (having written a sequel to "Stacy's Mom") and members of All-American Rejects, had features in America's Got Talent and even having opened for Candlebox and Collective Soul, her resume is impressive to say the least. But when you find out she's 19 and rockin' the pocket the way she does in every way, well you see why I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO interview her on the show. Approaching her backstage after the show in NYC at Rockwood Music Hall, she agreed to do the interview. She's here and has given some of the greatest insight yet into the pocket as we do on the show. Her fascinating stories and perceptive and observant viewpoint are keys to her success in touring, session and live drumming, studio and television, "WOW!" is all we can say. Tune in now to hear one of the best episodes. Laugh along with us. This was a fun one! Can't wait for you to hear it so just press play now and get it over with already... you know you want to!
