Luke Anthony Gefell - Reggae / Ska Band - New York City, New York
Event Location: Montauk, NY
Event Type: Beach Bar
7th July 2024
Luke only had one rehearsal and absolutely crushed the gig. His timing was impeccable and his attitude was more than professional. Not only did he show up on time but his energy helped the band play excellent. Luke is our first choice to fill in when our drummer can't make the gig.
Experience
Over 20 years of playing live and studio work. I've played in reggae bands, ska bands, indie bands, jazz bands. I can play to an arena or to a small room. Sticks, mallets, flash rods and brushes are all in my arsenal.
