Steve Heathcote – Drummer of the Year!

April 30th, 2009

I received some exciting news at the beginning of the week. Steve Heathcote, “rhythm keeper” for our band: “5th String BLVD.”, received the “Drummer of the Year” award from the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards last Friday. We are all very proud of his accomplishments. I have said this before, but it is a real honour to work with one of the greatest bands (and creative players) in the country. They are: Steve Heathcote (Kit), Will Jarvis (Bass), Brad Toews  (Keys) and Corey Lacey (Guitar). Here are some of my favorite shots over the last couple of years …
