Iconic drummer, Steve Ferrone, shared his soulful, thoughtful side in this intimate conversation diggin’ deep into his life, career, alcoholism, bottom, and recovery, as well as real talk about Average White Band’s money and demise, Duran Duran’s brilliant self-invention, Clapton’s tragedy played out in real-time, Harrison’s clueless sweetness, Petty’s broken end and the legacy he leaves behind. He talked Stephen Bruton, his guardian angel and Eskimo; how his program impacts him as a father, grandfather, partner, player, sponsee, and sponsor. Brian Ferry, the China Club, Spo-Dee-O-Dee’s, and more of our shared history. Steve also talked about love, responsibility, and commitment. A mature and evolving man his humanity moved us as his brilliant beats have for decades.  

Grateful.

Today Live! Steve Ferrone, most prominently known as the drummer in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is also a former member of the Average White Band and has recorded and performed with Duran Duran, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Slash, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton, Bee Gees, Scritti Politti, and Johnny Cash. Steve’s also appeared on recordings by Brian May, Anita Baker, George Benson, Jonathan Butler, Bryan Ferry, Eric Clapton, Christine McVie, Peter Frampton, Jeff Golub, Rick James, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Freddie King, Tracy Chapman, Pat Metheny, Steve Winwood, Michael W. Smith, Paul Simon, and Jaco Pastorius, will be in the house! His house, but Zoomin' with us.

Already a legend when I was booking rock clubs in New York back in the days, I was in a daze and don’t think we ever spoke, but I was always aware whenever he was around by the admiring ruckus surrounding him.

There were a number of near misses through the years, finally meeting him at one of Steve Postell's gigs some years ago, and then at Will Lee’s a few years later. I pounced, as is my wont. We had a great time on here in 2019- and broken Thanksgiving bread of late, and 

so look forward to sitting down again with this man who has sat behind innumerable rock heroes, and, is one hisself.

#LearningToFlyTour2018 Our Memorial Day show to benefit @kiddomillvalley Monday was a most joyous and memorable one as we celebrated the music of #TomPetty and were joined by none other than Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Steve Ferrone! Humbled and honored to have Steve play “Won’t Back Down”, “Running Down A Dream”, “Don’t Come Around Here No More” and “It’s Good To Be King” (thanks to Kenneth Brian of the @thekennethbrianband for joining in on “It’s Good To Be King”) A most gracious and nicer guy you will not find. Thank you Steve! Oh my my OH HELL YES! 👌🏻😎👍🏻🎩❤️🎸🙏🏻✌🏻 #TomPettyNation #thenewguy #steveferrone @tompettyoffical (at Mill Valley Community Center)
