Today LIVE! Hot off the heels of being a major player in the current HBO/MAX Billy Joel doc, And So It Goes, our old pal, Liberty DeVitto comes to catch up and fill in the blanks.
One of the greatest iconic rock drummers of all time, Billy Joel's Liberty Devitto, is also a bestselling author, devoted family man, sober, and a long-time great friend.
Liberty's an active session and touring musician who's worked with Carly Simon, Phoebe Snow, Karen Carpenter, Stevie Nicks, Rick Wakeman, Bob James, The Beach Boys, Meat Loaf, and more. His memoir, LIBERTY, Life, Billy, and the Pursuit of Happiness, hit #1 on Amazon, and his Love, Santa Claus: A humble-hearted Christmas story is a 5-star Amazon hit.
A drummer’s drummer, Lib, along with Sax player Richie Cannata and the rest of the Billy Joel Band, was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
Liberty's an official supporter of Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit organization that provides free musical instruments and instruction to children in underserved public schools throughout the USA.
Along with Billy Joel Band members, Richie Cannata, and Russell Javors, Liberty formed The Lords of 52nd Street and play their original hits. Liberty is a founding member of The NYC Hitsquad and was featured in the rock doc, Hired Gun.
Liberty's funny, a great storyteller, and a fabulous human being. I've loved this man for decades, watched him slay the sticks innumerable times, and witnessed him besting the best in "battle."
A big juicy slice of home, my heart, and no doubt my accent will be on my sleeve. Can't wait for the laughs, the fun, and the stories!
