   About Ned Folkerth

Spanning the Block! From early 90’s Chicago Vaudeville Punk troupe Maestro Subgum and the Whole to the current Portland alt-roots, rock and country scene with The Lewi Longmire Band, Caleb Klauder, Spigot and others, I’ve been the lucky rapscallion to lay down the tubs on many records and on countless shows throughout North America, Japan and Europe with Pinetop Seven, 5ive Style, Diane Izzo, Squall Collective, Las Toallitas, Jonny Polonsky, Mark Lemhouse, Michael Hall, Susan Voelz, Durango Park, Anish, Ulele, Jackstraw, The Old Yellers, Michael Dean Damron, Dylan-Thomas Vance, Frisbie and the Betsy Years.

My "Action Drumming" is featured on Jim Van Bebber’s legendary B-movie gang/gore fest "Deadbeat at Dawn" and I’ve had the the distinct pleasure of performing for many thousands of folks during 7 years of accompanying the Trinity Irish Dance Company from the Bayou of East Texas to the Top-class performing arts venues throughout Japan; Ireland; Chicago; New York; Washington, D.C.; Berlin; California and of course Butte, Montana!

I get to collaborate with DJ Joelskool in the drums and decks duo Pura Vida, having opened for Z-Trip, Fila Brasilia, Nicodemus and Turntables on the Hudson among others.

Save the Bees!

Hey Ned:

Seen your around the web here and there for years, and thought I'd finally send you a note. There's about a hundred percent chance that we're cousins back down the family tree somewhere.

Hope life's well in the New Year so far.

You're an enigma. One of the finest specimens to originate from Ohio. You're Christmas card was great, especially Eamon's sage advice for us all to get along and just have a big party.....We're all just people
