Remember when I said that I’d have some news on drums soon? Okay, you may not, it was a while ago. But in fact I now DO have some news on drums! And I couldn’t be happier. The amazing Todd Tatum, who was the drummer for the Pickups back in the day, has recorded drum tracks […] The post Presenting “Elephant”…by THE PICKUPS! appeared first on Lisa Brackmann .

Hey, it’s a new song! Featuring Tony Mandracchia on the bouzouki!! (and all kinds of other stringed things) It’s possible I am expressing some pandemic feels here. 😆 Next step…real drums…stay tuned! 📺 EDIT! Here are some real drums, thanks to Todd Tatum and recording Meister Tom Lee! I’m updating this a little stealthily because […] The post Target B-Side! app...
