To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Based in NYC since 2011, Adam came to New York by way of Houston, TX, where he completed his Master's Degree at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music (2008). Adam grew up in Northeast Ohio, where he attended Cleveland State University (2006). Formally studying classical percussion throughout his education, Adam also actively performed as a freelancer on drum set — his classical background combined with his drum set skills gave him a unique blend that turned out to be very well-suited for musical theater.After playing its out-of-town tryout at Houston's Alley Theatre, Adam had his Broadway debut as the drummer on Frank Wildhorn's WONDERLAND when it transferred to Broadway (Spring 2011). OBCR on Sony Masterworks.With his foot in the door from his first Broadway show, Adam set about the work of subbing and building a reputation in and around the city. Subbing on NYC productions as diverse as RENT, EVITA, MATILDA the Musical, AVENUE Q, CATS, HELLO DOLLY, ANASTASIA, THE PROM, WEST SIDE STORY, COME FROM AWAY, and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS — and many more — Adam routinely demonstrates a wide-ranging versatility. A unique hybrid player, Adam is equally at home on drum set and percussion, excelling in situations that demand both contemporary drum set styles and legit classical/orchestral sensibilities.Adam's most recent NYC chairs include 2017's BANDSTAND on Broadway (TONY Nomination for Best Orchestrations, TONY WINNER for Best Choreography), Jerry Springer the Opera, and Between the Lines with acclaimed writers Samsel & Anderson — where Adam not only played drums and percussion but helped create the percussive mix elements. Adam is often found developing new works in NYC's rehearsal studios, working with established and new writing teams whenever possible. Most recently, Adam subbed on CATS: The Jellicle Ball.Adam has supported many of NYC's finest singers, including Caroline Bowman, Austin Colby, Jordan Dobson, Natalie Weiss, Justin Guarini, Sierra Boggess, Laura Osnes, Josh Young, Orfeh, Andy Karl, Patti LuPone, Jeremy Jordan, Ben Fankhauser, Brian Justin Crumm, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Kacey Velazquez, Loren Allred, Andy Mientus, and Crystal Monee Hall, among many others.When not in the theater, Adam is often found in NYC recording studios playing for singer/songwriters and composers like Desi Oakley, The Jack Mosbacher Band, Michael Mott, and David Mallamud — playing cabaret spots like Feinstein's 54 Below, performing at Lincoln Center, and downtown venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Piano's, and The Bitter End.

My next guest on the Broadway Drumming 101 Classic series is drummer Adam Wolfe, and this is actually a return visit. Adam first joined the podcast years back, when he was known for his work on Wonderland, Bandstand, and Clueless the Musical, on top of subbing everything from Evita to Matilda and Cats.I can speak about Adam from firsthand experience too. He was my only sub on Cats: The Jellicle Ball for a long stretch, until I eventually brought in someone else, a great young drummer who I helped get his first ever Broadway show subbing gig. I was about to start bringing in more subs as the show went on, but we are closing today. That's a story for another time. The point is, that kind of trust doesn't happen by accident. I even heard him play the show himself on Monday, and he's fantastic! I'm genuinely glad to know him and even more glad I get to call him a colleague.In this episode, we get into what it really takes to sub a Broadway show, the times he had weeks to prepare and drilled every bar until he was almost tired of the show before opening night, and the times he got the call with barely any notice and had to cram a stack of fast, dense charts while still working. Make sure you subscribe so you're notified the moment this episode drops. And if you know a drummer who needs to hear this, send it their way.Clayton Craddock was most recently the drummer for Cats: The Jellicle Ball on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre.

Based on Nick Veltri's return appearance on In the Flamingo Lounge with Rockabilly Greg (recorded June 23, 2026 and broadcast July 18, 2026). Nick Veltri: Serving the Song For more than fifty years, bass player Nick Veltri has stood as one of the most respected, disciplined groove-makers in Western New York. Inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame in 1994, Veltri's reputation isn't built on flash or grandstanding, but on a deep, unshakeable devotion to a single musical truth: the song is king. The Spark of the Groove Nick's obsession with the instrument started early. As a nine-year-old kid walking to sax lessons at Art Kubera's music store, his eyes would lock onto the shiny new Fender basses hanging on the wall. The definitive "aha" moment came at the Erie County Fair when he saw a local group called The El Tempos performing in their sharp red blazers. Hearing the way the bass drove the crowd to dance, Nick knew exactly where his future lay. He never picked up a standard guitar; he was meant to play the bass. While his father bought him an off-brand electric rig around 1963, Nick also pursued formal training on the upright bass under the legendary Ted Mayer of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Mayer's strict focus on bowing, precise finger position, and classical discipline laid a flawless technical foundation that Nick carried with him throughout his entire career. The Road, the Legends, and the "P-Bass" Tone Returning home from a military stint in the Marines (1969–1971), Nick jumped headfirst into the fertile Buffalo circuit. By 1973, he joined the nationally touring '50s showband Big Wheelie & the Hubcaps, kicking off an era of recording, traveling, and headlining major hometown venues like the historic Melody Fair. Over the decades, Nick became the go-to session and live player for the region's elite, backing keyboard icon Stan Szelest in Stan & the Ravens, anchoring Billy McEwen & the Soul Invaders, and performing with Barbara St. Clair & the Shadows. "I prefer a precision bass—the split pickup—and heavy-gauge flatwound strings. La Bella flatwounds... to me, that gets the sound that I have in my mind." — Nick Veltri Nick's signature tone relies heavily on a three-bass rotation of reissue Fenders: ·       A '58 Reissue Precision Bass: Beloved for its easy playability and classic, round sound. ·       A '54 Reissue Precision Bass: A primitive, punchy take on the earliest Fender designs. ·       A '62 Reissue Precision Bass: Bringing that classic '60s R&B soul warmth. His approach is strictly fingers—no picks—keeping him firmly locked into the pocket alongside legendary local drummers and horn sections. In the Studio and On Display Nick's musical fingerprint is etched onto nearly 100 recording projects—ranging from regional radio jingles (like "Milk for Health") to albums by Terry Buchwald, Doug Yeomans, Bob Faulk, and Pete Howard, as well as Lance Diamond's beloved Christmas record. He was also famous for a unique, heavily gigged 1959 Fender Precision bass featuring a rosewood fingerboard. Over decades of service, the instrument's failing finish became a canvas, completely covered in signatures of legendary musicians Nick crossed paths with. Featured in 20th Century Guitar magazine in the early 2000s, the historic bass was later displayed at the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Hard Rock Cafe before finding a home with a collector in the Netherlands. Keeping the Heritage Alive Beyond his legendary stage presence, Veltri has dedicated decades of his life to preservation. Following his 1994 Hall of Fame induction, he stepped into leadership roles, serving as the President of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame starting in 2000, and helping organize historical exhibitions to honor the players who built the "Buffalo Sound." Whether he's co-writing tracks like "Put Out the Fire" on the Bandstand label, recording live original projects with writers like John Regis, or steering the rhythm section for his beloved bi-annual R&B Soul Revue alongside Sam Guarino, Nick Veltri remains the ultimate professional. To Nick, playing the bass has never been about self-promotion—it's about locking down the pocket and serving the music.

We're coming towards the end of another busy summer term. We've still got a few more JOLF Days to deliver, our final JOLF Nurture sessions to complete, and one last SEND Family JOLF session before we head into what promises to be a fantastic summer.Over the holidays we'll be out in the community with JOLF in the Park, Boogie in the Bandstand, Mid Sussex District Council Play Days, and plenty of other opportunities for children and families to have a go at golf.But today, I wanted to talk about something that's become a really important part of what we do – pupil voice.Last week we visited Blackthorns Primary School in Haywards Heath, where every child from Reception to Year 6 took part in a JOLF Day. Afterwards, we collected feedback from the children, asking three simple questions:Have you played golf before?Did you enjoy playing golf?Would you like to play more golf?We also asked what they enjoyed most about the day.In this episode, I'll share the statistics, some brilliant comments from the children, and explain how thousands of pupil voice forms collected over the last five years continue to shape the way we deliver JOLF.

After City Park's iconic bandstand was damaged beyond repair in an overnight fire in late March, the park's neighbors and city leaders have come together to raise money for a replacement. While alternate locations are in place for big events like City Park Jazz this summer, the fire and the outpouring of love sparked new questions about the history and what's next for the park itself. So today, host Bree Davies is taking a walk through City Park's past, present, and future with Georgia Garnsey, president of City Park Friends and Neighbors, and Kristina Maldonado Bad Hand, a Sicangu Lakota and Cherokee artist who is working on the new City Park Living Land project.

6x Grammy award winning producer, Charlie Peacock has had an almost 50 year career in the music industry. His new memoir, "Charlie Peacock Roots and Rhythm: A life in music" comes out February 4, 2025. On this episode of The Strangest Gig, we get into just a few slices from that storied career. Including his time as an artist in the early years of CCM, before it was even called CCM; his work as a producer for such platinum selling acts as Switchfoot and The Civil Wars; and starting his own label Re:Think Records. We also hear the hilarious stories of when he worked with the legendary Al Green on a song for a Christmas compilation and also when his band got shook playing the worst gig ever at a wave pool in New Braunfels, TX.
