Hey, folks, it's Joe. I'm really excited to announce that the Trapset Live is returning to Portland, Oregon on Sunday, February 26th.

This is a co-production with our friends at Revival Drum Shop, who are celebrating their eighth anniversary.

I'll be hosting a panel discussion with Mel Brown of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gay, Sam Henry of the Wipers, Sarah Lund of Unwound,

Lisa Schoenberg of Secret Drum Band, and Benjamin Weichel of the Helio sequence.

There will also be DJ sets by John Sherman, Janet Weiss, and Cookie Parker, and performances

by Daniel Charles Hunt, and Adam Morford. It all goes down on Sunday, February 26th at 6 p.m. at Mississippi Studios.

Tickets are available at our website, thetrapset.net.

This is a can't miss event.

Now on with the show.

Wow! on with the show. This is Joe Wong. Welcome to the Trap Set, where each week we explore the lives of drummers.
