3 – Dave Hamar: Learn from everything

Drums, Music, Performing Arts, ,

In this episode, I talk to Dave Hamar.  He is a drummer, composer, teacher and he’s currently playing with rising star, Mandy Harvey.

We talk about getting started playing music, making the jump to be a professional, and even gear.  See if you can catch the nerd references he throws out there.  I actually really appreciate his gaming analogy!!! You’ll hear in this episode how great a story-teller he is.  That’s likely why he’s such an interesting drummer to listen to and to play with.  Be sure to listen all the way to the end.

You can find Dave online at these places.

2 – Will Scecina: Deciding to be available

Guitar, Music, Performing Arts, ,

Will Scecina is a working musician in Florida. Recently he’s been the touring guitarist for rising star, Mandy Harvey.

In this episode Will talks to me about how he got started playing, why he left NYC, and part of his life while on tour.  He says he’s had two pivotal moments in his career; the decision to go full time, and the decision to not be stuck in one role. When he’s been honest with what he wants in life, the universe has responded in kind.

You can find Will and his band, Anyan Dévery, on Instagram and their websites.
