Liberty DeVitto: The Beat That Built BILLY JOEL's Greatest Hits

Liberty DeVitto has long been recognised as one of the most influential drummers in rock history, renowned for his explosive energy, innovative rhythms, and deep connection to the music. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he was captivated by drumming at an early age, inspired by legends like Ringo Starr, Dino Danelli, and Keith Moon. Raised in a vibrant, music-loving family, DeVitto honed his craft by playing along to records and developing his signature style—a mix of finesse, power, and an uncanny ability to elevate a song's emotional impact. DeVitto's career reached new heights when he joined Billy Joel's band in 1974, a partnership that spanned over three decades. As Joel's drummer, DeVitto was the driving force behind countless hits, including "Piano Man," "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," and "My Life." His intuitive understanding of Joel's songwriting allowed him to craft drum parts that became as iconic as the melodies themselves. Albums like The Stranger, 52nd Street, and Glass Houses showcased his ability to balance technical brilliance with raw emotion, solidifying his place in music history. Beyond Billy Joel, DeVitto has collaborated with a wide range of iconic artists, including Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon, and Karen Carpenter, displaying his versatility and adaptability across genres. He has also performed on numerous studio sessions, further contributing to his impressive discography. In addition to his illustrious career as a sideman, DeVitto formed The Slim Kings, a band that combines classic rock influences with a fresh, modern sound. The Slim Kings have released several critically acclaimed tracks, earning a loyal following for their authentic and energetic performances. He also has The Lords of 52nd St which is the original band behind Billy Joel - a band that has sold more than 150 million records and helped establish Billy Joel's formidable sound. In recent years, DeVitto has shared his incredible journey through his memoir, Liberty: Life, Billy, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The book provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at his life on and off the stage, detailing his childhood in Brooklyn, his experiences with Billy Joel, and his personal struggles and triumphs. It's a testament to his resilience and passion for music. DeVitto continues to be an active presence in the music industry, performing live, recording new music, and mentoring aspiring musicians. His latest project is recording with Studio D'Lux - a supergroup led by keyboardist-vocalist Doug Kistner (Trans-Siberian Orchestra/Blood Sweat & Tears/John Waite). Liberty Devitto is joined by guitarist Jon Herington (Steely Dan), New Brunswick singer Glen Burtnik (Styx), Asbury Park singer Reagan Richards (Williams Honor), bassist Malcolm Gold (Sheryl Crow) and saxophonist Tom Timko (Gloria Estefan).   Liberty remains a vocal advocate for drummers, regularly appearing at drum clinics and industry events to inspire the next generation of percussionists. With a career that spans decades and a legacy that continues to grow, Liberty DeVitto is more than a drummer—he is a cornerstone of modern music, whose beats will echo for generations to come. Liberty joins us this week to share what continues to be an amazing ride through the music industry. A ride he has dedicated his entire life to.

Torrey is a self-proclaimed, “Jill of all Trades.” Her father, Liberty DeVitto, is the longtime drummer for Billy Joel so it's no surprise that music was her first passion - excelling in violin at age 6. In addition to being a touring musician and actress, Torrey is also a dancer and model, where she works to promote eco-friendly fashion and makeup.These days, though, you're more than likely to find her on her farm in Michigan hanging with her new fiancé and having the occasional sloth day, which we definitely all need from time to time.Follow her on Instagram at @torreydevittoEpisode WebpageWatch the Episode on YouTubeUpcoming Events:Black Mountain Retreat - April 14th-19th, 2024 - Save $200 with code: RIP200https://plantstrongfoods.com/pages/2024-black-mountain-retreat Sedona Retreat - October 8th-13th, 2024 - Save $200 with code: RIP200https://plantstrongfoods.com/pages/2024-sedona-retreat Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Leave Us a Voicemail Question or StoryLeave us a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/plantstrong Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG Journeyhttps://home.mealplanner.plantstrong.com/ https://myplantstrong.com/b/trailblazer Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotifyTheme Music for Episodehttps://app.soundstripe.com/songs/10845

Torrey DeVitto: How to Reconnect With Nature and Source

When was the last time you noticed the love in your life?   In this episode of The Darin Olien Show, I chat with Torrey DeVitto about the importance of keeping our focus on love. And by love, we don't mean a significant other- we're talking about the only feeling that is real in this human experience of ours.  We're not meant to be in these individual bodies - we are all part of one big thing. And love is what brings us back to feeling connected to this big thing.   Torrey also explains how Nature is a great way to explore what it is us humans go through. If you think of the cycles we go through in our human experience, nature goes through almost the same ones. And it's true for the animals and for the flora. Thus why nature is a great place to explore when we are experiencing a difficult time in our lives.    Torrey DeVitto is an actress, advocate, philanthropist, and producer. She is best known for her six season run on the NBC drama, "Chicago Med" playing Natalie Manning, the 'girl next door' and a doctor in the ER Pediatrics division. Outside of her acting work, Torrey's mission is to grant access and bring knowledge of wellness and philanthropy to as many people as possible.   What we discuss:   05:51: What is the hardest part of Torrey's career? 11:14: Why did Torrey get into hospice work? 15:17: How to look at life through the lens of death? 23:34: What does Torrey do to cultivate her practice? 31:55: What are the things that throw off Torrey the most?   Key takeaways:   Nature is a great way to explore what it is us humans go through. If you think of the cycles we go through in our human experience, nature goes through almost the same ones. And it's true for the animals and for the flora. Thus why nature is a great place to explore when we are experiencing a difficult time in our lives. When you really focus on it, you see how us and nature are all one.    The only thing that is REAL is love. Everything else is an illusion and doesn't exist. Nothing real can be threatened and nothing unreal really exists. So when you feel like you are out of source, remind yourself the whole concept of how we're not meant to be in these individual bodies and we are all part of one big thing.    If you look at life through the lens of death, you may come to realize that is actually a celebration of life. However, this is only the case if you allow yourself to live a life worth celebrating. To do this, you must live a life where you are connected to source and living in harmony with nature.    Find more from Darin:   Website: https://darinolien.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Darinolien/ Book: https://darinolien.com/fatal-conveniences-book/ Down to Earth: https://darinolien.com/down-to-earth/   Find more from Torrey:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/torreydevitto/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/torreydevitto?lang=en     Thank you to our sponsors!   Truth Treatments: Go to https://www.truthtreatments.com/ and use code DARIN10 at checkout for 10% off.   Methodology: Check out  www.gomethodology.com and use the code DARIN to get 10% off the first week (offer valid for first-time customers only).  Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com  and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off.

I couldn't wait to get this episode out because I spoke with longtime Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto. I've always been a big fan of Billy's music and part of the reason for that is his outstanding band, highlighted by DeVitto's work behind the drum kit. With Billy's The Nylon Curtain album set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in September, I wanted to talk to Liberty about a record which is very special to me. But we didn't just talk about the album. We also spoke about his autobiography, his involvement with the excellent Hired Gun documentary, his trip behind the iron curtain to play rock music in the Soviet Union, his current bands (the Slim Kings and the Lords of 52nd Street), and more.

This week Courtney sits down with Torrey Devitto. Torrey is an actor who is known for the NBC drama Chicago Med (2015-2021), Amy Makes Three (2016) , and the CW television series The Vampire Diaries (2009), among many others. Born and raised in Huntington, New York, to Mary Devitto & Liberty DeVitto, from the time Torrey was born, she was surrounded by the entertainment industry. For 28 years, her father played the drums for Billy Joel. She spent most of her early years traveling on the road with her parents. She began violin lessons at age six and was in the 4th grade when she had already earned her place as the 4th chair violinist in a New York high school orchestra. She played in the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Florida Youth Artist Orchestra. In 1997, Torrey played on stage with her father at a Terri Binion show in Orlando, earning her first standing ovation. At 15, she started working in commercials, modeling, and print ads. Her break came when she earned the lead in playwright Lee Blessing's three-woman play Eleemosynary, which was performed at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. Torrey moved to Los Angeles, where her career as an actress took off. Outside work, Torrey has worked with SafeBAE and been a longtime Hospice Ambassador, and also supports PETA and The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). She shares, "To most, death is an incredibly scary and taboo idea. Hospice provides a shoulder to lean on... and the important duty of easing the fears and doubts that naturally reside in our minds as we approach the end of our lifetime. There is nothing I am more proud or passionate about than being a part of this work. It is a life-long commitment for me. A passion that I find to be more gratifying than anything I have ever known…”.

Soulful rockers The Slim Kings have revealed another new track from their forthcoming album today; click here to check out “Soldier On”. Lyrics from “Soldier On,” written by drummer Liberty DeVitto, singer/guitarist Michael Sackler-Berner and bassist Andy Attanasio exemplify DeVitto’s fighting spirit and longtime career: “Wounded and limping/But we still got something to prove/Believing when they say/We got nothing left to lose”. Also out today is DeVitto’s new memoir, Liberty: Life, Billy and the pursuit of Happiness. The book traces a musician’s journey: early childhood bands, a rise through the local club scene, wedding bands, building a career, his first tours, and then a juggernaut of success, excess, and stardom with Billy Joel. Liberty is a tale of following and fulfilling your dream, a love story of a drummer and his drum, and an inside look at the music and career of Billy Joel from the man who viewed it from the best seat in the house: the drum throne.

The Third Story Podcast with Leo Sidran

Liberty Devitto says he was lucky to be the right age when The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. He learned to play drums by listening to Ringo Starr’s parts and playing along to records. Why the drums? “Because they didn’t make Prozac back then.” Still, Liberty says he “likes music better than drums”. Maybe that’s why he’s often called a song drummer. In the recording studio, he’s much more likely to be reading the lyrics than the sheet music. Devitto played with Billy Joel for nearly 30 years, played on all the big records and hits, and toured the world countless times. His sound, style and feel are iconic. Then, at age 50, Liberty was faced with a new reality. Here we talk about the journey from restless funny kid to veteran hit maker, and what makes him a “New York style drummer”. And we tackle the important questions, like do we choose to be musicians because we’re nuts, or does becoming a musician makes us nuts? The episode features an additional bonus intro conversation with Michael Sackler-Berner, who plays in The Slim Kings with Liberty, and who helped to arrange the interview.

He met Doug Stegmeyer in high school and along with Howard Emerson, formed the band Topper.Together they performed the songs that Javors wrote. Topper became noticed by Billy Joel. Joel found he needed a bassist on his Streetlife Serenade tour and invited Stegmeyer to join him. Javors and DeVitto soon followed. With the addition of multi-instrumentalist Richie Cannata, Topper became the Billy Joel Band. Javors played rhythm guitar with Joel from 1976 until 1989.On October 23, 2014, Javors, Cannata, and DeVitto (with Stegmeyer, posthumously) were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, primarily for their work with Joel.Shortly thereafter, Javors, Cannata, and DeVitto officially formed The Lords of 52nd Street band; the band also includes a pianist and lead vocalist, keyboardist, and a guitarist, and plays faithful renditions of the recorded Joel originals.Javors also recorded guitar parts for Karen Carpenter's 1979 self-titled album, which was released in 1996
