Jerry Granelli

solo cd

Things are moving along for Jerry Granelli's epic drum record. Charles Austin, Jerry, and I just spent a few days in the studio mixing the
tracks we recorded way back in April. Working with Jerry has been incredible -- I have never thought so hard about drums. Both Charles and I are learning so much. Jerry will be turning 70 just before the release of this record. In all those years of drumming, as far as I can tell, he's yet to release a solo record. I am so honoured that he agreed to do this on DIVORCE! And on vinyl!
