113_Sam Shahin-Naughty Professor, Big Freedia - (Backing Band)-NOLA Drummer Series.13

Today's guest is uber-talented drummer Sam Shahin of New Orleans' eclectic 6-Piece band Naughty Professor who was on tour with Big Freedia/Tank & The Banga's where we talked about N.P. being the back-up band for Big Freedia, the respective challenges of playing bounce grooves with Frieda vs the N.P. set, the origins of N.P. and jamming with Marcus King, his path to drumming and the various mentors he's had along the way, the kid-band scene in Austin as he was growing up, the varying approaches of drum-instructor's Wayne Moreau and Johnny Vidacovich at Loyola University, "acid gigs", tour logistics, and the seemingly endless creative inspiration New Orleans provides.https://naughtyprofessormusic.com/https://www.facebook.com/NPFUNK/https://naughtyprofessor.bandcamp.com/Photo: Facebook; @rick.moore.5454
