I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I play drums for the bands Crash Into June, The Angel Sluts, The Electric Eve, Afterglow, and any other project that seems interesting and worthwhile....I have also drummed with Smokin Jane, Beanpole, Shiver, David Brookings, Betsy Roo (Ulmer), Calico Soul, The Trouser Snakes, The Brian Johnson Band, Swelter, and many others. Always looking to play as much as possible. I have worked in the Studio With Neilson Hubbard (Strays Don't Sleep), Tommy Hoehn, Chris Thomas, and Garrison Starr. Recorded at Sun, Ardent, Memphis Independent, and Easley Studios(RIP) , toured all over the country, shared the stage with major recording artists, and I feel very fortunate to have worked and played with such talented artists.....My top 4 friends all have songs on their myspace pages with me drumming on them. One day I'll put up my own "Boz drummer" page with songs from some of the folks I have played music with (If there is a way to fit all of that on one page.....) ....

My Interests


You Are Expressionism
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse. What Art Movement Are You?

I'd like to meet:

RIP KEVIN DUBROW

I was not a huge fan of Quiet Riot, but, they did a fantastic job of being a Slade cover band. I prefer Slade, but, the one song Kevin & the boys managed to come up with on their own was a rocker....
