Eric Tworivers- The Man With the Beat

 

Drums, Lead/Support Vocals

After many years as a drummer with Dick Clark Productions, (from age 14 to age 30), providing the drums and/or percussion behind such artists as Mink Deville, The Archies, Neal Sedaka, Dionne Warwick, Van Morrison and Gary Wright (among others), Eric took time off to raise a family and pursue other interests, including owning the Pro Drum Shop in Portland, OR in the early 80's, and becoming an Award-Winning Commercial Photographer, known nationally for his exciting and provocative advertising and entertainment images, covering a 'Who's-Who' of musical giants for many years.

Most recently Eric's music has involved anchoring the band The Wise Guys in the NW in the last few years, and performing on guitar and bass in the acoustic trio TwoRivers Music. The drums have been quietly cooking on the 'back burner'... 'Till now...

As Drummer in the band 'Sounder', Eric brings his drumming around full-circle, to complete the rhythmic path he began so long ago.

Eric Tworivers is of the Blackfoot Nation, and is active in Native American issues and education.
