   About Scott Garapolo
I was born in Berwyn, Illinois, just west of Chicago. After watching my uncle's wedding band at the age of 8, I found my calling as a drummer. My mother says that, "even at just a few months I noticed that Scott liked to bang on things, wooden spoons on bowls..." I then spent my grammar school years starting bands with friends and studying with John Milan Buno.

In high school near Chicago my love of jazz and world music began to grow and I began to study with Paul Wertico of the Pat Metheny Group and a great session drummer, Ric Vitek.

Next I decided to take my musical education one step further and headed to the University of Miami's school of music and their Studio Music and Jazz program. Upon graduation I moved to New York City and began to play with acts in the local clubs of Manhattan.

I now get the chance to play with lots of bands of various type, many listed here in my top friends. I also work hard on my production chops and am busy programming grooves and recording in my home studio.

Some of the wonderful musicians and folks I have had the honor to play with include Raul Midon, Steve Albini, Alexa Ray Joel, Shep and Kenny, Frank Fillipetti, Anthony Krizan, Nona Hendryx, Ronnie Drayton, LaLa Brooks, Pheobe Legere, Paul Ruderman, Rain Pryor, J-Henry, Ben Stivers, Pillow Thoery, Tim Lafebvre, Ivan Bodley, Freddy Wexler, Gordon Grody, Demian Sims, Die Laughing, Jimmy Riot, Kim Loren, Jane LeCroy, Matt Chertkoff, Into Red Giant and other fabulous musicians.
