                                                                         Lael Eccard- drums 

Lael knew at age 9 that music was to be his life calling.  His father, also a drummer, was the reason he started playing at that age.  It was during high school where his love for blues and jam bands began.  Groups like Phish, The Grateful Dead, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton...these were his early influences.  However, over the years he developed a love for all things musical.  From the jazz of guys like Art Blakey to the sounds of the Celts from groups like Lunasa...or from the classical styling of Mozart to the  down home pickin' of Brad Paisley, Lael samples from it all.  With over 20 years of live performance experience in a variety of groups and an Associate of Arts in Percussion Performance from the Musicians Institute, Lael brings to the group soulful, energetic and sometimes spontaneous grooves that compliment the group perfectly.  Lael has recently been touring with Peter Anderson.
