Music Education and Experience: - Started playing drums (actually.. a practice pad kit) at the age of 6. I became very interested in my father's record and reel-to-reel collection and played along to the records and tapes of bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Roxy Music and Traffic. - Finally bought my first drum set at the age of 10. My interest in music and drumming increased through grade school and high school. - Attended Berklee College of Music in 1991. Graduated 1996. - While attending Berklee, I was supporting myself playing 5-6 nights a week. (Original, cover and GB acts) - I currently have a day job but still maintain a very active musical career. - For more info and music: http://blues.jpj.net/~jespo/music.html Bands/Musicians I Currently Perform with: Sun Jones: An all original rock band based in Boston MA featuring 3 distinctive singer/song writers that is gaining strong momentum. http://www.sunjones.com/ Our first album and second album is for sale on Amazon and iTunes.
