John Medeiros (Drums) - Born in New Bedford, MA, John's interest in music began at a young age.  John remembers his  first endeavor in playing a musical instrument was being taught to play "Baby What'd I Say" from Ray Charles on guitar by his father. It was in the sixth grade that John had his defining moment which made him decide that he would be a professional drummer.  It was the drum solo from "YYZ" on "Exit Stage Left" by Rush that had floored him.  Toward the end of his high school  career, John was impressing his peers by playing the solo that had decided his fate.  After high school John attended the world renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where he received several scholarships and grants. 

Upon graduating, John subsequently started his professional and teaching career. Playing with musicians such as Melvin Butler (Brian Blade), Eric Normand (Rhett Akins, Toby Keith), Doug James (Roomful of Blues, Duke Robillard), Robbie Merrill (Godsmack), Abe Laboriel Jr. (Seal, Paul McCartney), Rick Derringer, Clyde Beatty and Cole Brothers Circus, Jon Finn (Berklee Professor, Boston Pops, Boston Symphony Orchestra), Bryan Beller (Steve Vai, Mike Keneally), Jon Ross  (James Cotton, Duke Ronillard), Matt Stubbs (Charlie Musslewhite), Troy Gonyea (Kim Wilson, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Tony Lynn Washington), Bruce Bears (Duke Robillard, Tony Lynn Washington), Mark Early (Roomful of Blues, Queen City Kings), and many others.
