Drummer and founding member of The Pink Beds, Ryan Sargent, has an appreciation for tone and intention. Drumming is a mindfulness practice as are his massage therapy practice, dog stewardship, and human relationships.
I love discovering new music in live settings but it's even more exciting when it's not planned for or expected and it just grabs and turns your head to pay attention.
The Pink Beds strike me as a band that producers like Walter Becker, Donald Fagen, and Kevin Parker would appreciate, but with a sound all their own.
Catch them every chance you get!
Ryan is a super warm and intelligent guy willing to explore ideas and nerd out about music and drumming.
