Mark Kelso paints stories with his drums

Drummer, composer, bandleader, artist-gentleman.

That’s a good list. Mark Kelso is a true painter of musical color. He finds the hues and the tints and the blends with his drumming and in the grooves and beats he tells his stories. Music and music-making excites him and you can experience that when you see him in creative action. You can hear that spirit in his work and when you are lucky enough to just talk about music or a music experience with him.

I recommend you find your way to being able to do just that, because the spirit is infectious. He’s a drum teacher too, imagine being his student. Mark’s simply teaching and telling and coloring with his music all the time. It’s on the palette of the colors of his artistry.
