The Bleu Edmondson Band Drummer "A TEAM"

About Me

Broseph IV (Joe J Cortez, IV) I am currently the touring drummer for The Bleu Edmondson Band (WOrD.) I am also a session drummer for producer, Mack Damon, at Studio Hollywood. My band Full Throttle is on break from touring. The Throttle FAM is still writing and will be playing a few shows through out the next couple of years. I grew up playing Jazz, funk, R&B and have been playing for about 20 years. I began playing with local bands in San Antonio at age 12. (after going to a Dave Weckl clinic that year of 97 and realizing that I wanted to be a drummer when I grew up.) I toured the Texas and surrounding states for 3 1/2 years with Full Throttle. I have been a part of many c.d. projects over the last couple of years. (First Light-Ocean Lights, Full Throttle-Self Titled, Full Throttle-Drive, Joey Woods and Good People-A Day from Gone, Dave Fendly, Nate Davenport, Dallas Seely, Bret Crenshaw Band, Derek Sholl, Rich O Tool) please contact if you are interested in me playing on your record. I play all styles Rock, Jazz, R&B, Pop, Country, Blues, and good music Some of my biggest influences have been Dave Weckl, Carter Beauford, Will Kennedy, John Bonham, Chad Sexton, JJ Johnson, The Rev, Steve Gadd, Billy Ashbaugh, and more... Thank You for the support and Love.
