Building a career that is now 18 years in the making offers great perspective. However, after all the gigs, the sessions, the travel, the good times and bad, Boston-based drummer Jeff Muzerolle admits that he still thrives off of the experience, regardless of the gig: "I still love the whole process of playing a gig or a session. From load-in to load-out, the whole experience always fills me with energy, joy and passion. I don't care if the gig is a dive bar in the middle of nowhere or a stadium concert in front of thousands. Maybe it's a recording session in someone's basement or a highly-funded record date in a million-dollar recording facility in NYC. I love it all... always have and always will."



Jeff Muzerolle started playing the drumkit when he was 5 years old and played his first professional gig at the age of 10.
