Podcast appearances and mentions of curt bisquera

This week's guest is Curt Bisquera, AKA Kirkee B. He's played with so many great artists, such as Elton John, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty, Sarah Mclaughlin, Lana Del Ray, and Johnny Cash, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. His pocket is deeeeeep, and his stories are endless. This episode is Kirkee B's SECOND appearance on the show; I had him on a few years back to discuss five defining moments in his recording career, but this time he discusses the five records that helped shape him to be one of the GO-TO sessions players in LA. I love him. He's so fun. I hope you enjoy my chat with the one and only Curt Bisquera. SUBMIT YOUR LISTENER PICKS HERE KIRKEE B'S BIG FAT FIVE

The band members of Biscodini Organ Trio are well-established musicians who've been playing random gigs together for years. COVID-19 prevented that in 2020. But the pandemic brought together drummer Curt Bisquera, organist Scott Healy, and guitarist John Chiodini in an unexpected way - to record an album.

Today's guest is Curt Bisquera…or as most people know him “Kirkee B”. He's played with so many great artists such as Elton John, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Sarah Mclaughlin, Lana Del Ray, Johnny Cash and that's just the tip of the iceberg. His pocket is deep and his stories are endless. I brought him on the show to break down the top 5 moments in his career that best represent his legacy as a player. From moving to LA to pursue a career in drumming at MI as a young kid who couldn't read music to eventually playing the biggest stages in the world…Kirkee B is a man who takes opportunities and smashes them out of the park. His mixture of being at the right place at the right time (WITH the right information to stand out) is a common theme. Do your homework, play to the song, know the technology of the day and be more like Kirkee B. There…now you don't even have to listen. But please do.

Curt Bisquera, also known as “Kirkee B.”, is one of the most popular studio and touring drummers in the world. Curt began playing drums at age 3 and was playing professionally by the time he was in grade school. After finishing high school Curt attended Hollywood’s Musician’s Institute. One of Curt’s teachers at MI was Joe Porcaro and eventually met the late drumming legend Jeff Porcaro. Jeff became a huge influence for Bisquera and eventually went on to recommend him for work. While at the Musician’s Institute Curt heard that Morris Day & The Time were auditioning for a new drummer. He got the gig and Curt went on to tour with Morris Day which led on to him working with other well known artists including Shalamar and Sheena Easton. Curt went on to tour with Belinda Carlisle where he met legendary producer Don Was who hired him to play drums on Bonnie Raitt’s massive Grammy winning hit Luck Of The Draw. Curt became one of the most in demand session drummers recording and performing with many great artists including Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John, Tina Turner, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty & The Heartbrakers, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Etta James, The Dixie Chicks, Spice Girls, Ricky Martin, and many more.
