Dear Drummer has been together over 10 years as a band. And the chemistry shows. They continue to write and record new music, expanding on their sound and brand.
Comfortably switching up styles from soulful crooning to gritty rock, from rootsy reggae to funky hip hop, and everything in between. The band has become known for their fun, high energy live shows, laced with impressive vocals and contagious grooves & melodies that get the audience up and moving, and a sound that works well on a bigger, louder stage.
Taking their name from an anonymous letter their drummer received from an unappreciative neighbor at the time, Dear Drummer has been having fun and filling venues all over Portland since forming in the winter of 2012. Their unique blend of soul-funk-rock and evolving sound has kept dance floors full and audiences fully engaged.
Lead singer Justin Odom draws listeners in with his smooth vocals and high-energy performance, while the rest of his band mates keep the grooves tight. Diverse and varied, their influences range from Marvin Gaye and Paul Simon, to the Beastie Boys and Tribe Called Quest.
