Drummer in the Window a New Weekly Series – Nashville, 2026
Every night on Lower Broadway, the neon flashes and the windows shake. You walk past a dozen bars and there they are: the drummers in the window. Back to the street, facing the band, pounding out covers for tips while tourists take selfies.
But look closer.
One week that guy was on the rail with Billy Strings at Red Rocks. The week before, he was holding down the groove for Willie Nelson or Sturgill Simpson. He’s got a doctorate in percussion from Berklee, a master’s from Juilliard, or twenty years of arena tours on his résumé… and tonight he’s playing “Wagon Wheel” for the 400th time so he can pay rent.
Drummer in the Window is the series that flips the script.
Each 30–45 minute episode sits down with one of these unsung monsters (on the very kit they just played to the street) and digs into the real story:
- How did you end up in the window?
- What’s it like going from 20,000-seat arenas to 150 drunk bachelorettes in one week?
- The gear, the war stories, the sessions with legends, the heartbreak, the hustle.
Shot raw and intimate (half in the bar after last call, half on the bus or in their East Nashville apartment), released every Friday on YouTube and all podcast platforms.
This isn’t pity. It’s respect. These are some of the best players on earth, and Nashville’s front window is the strangest, toughest stage in America.
Drummer in the Window turns the neon spotlight around and finally lets the backbone of Music City tell their story.
Because behind every cover band on Broadway is a drummer who could smoke 99% of the players you see on TV. We’re just the ones crazy enough to ask why they’re in the window tonight.
