This week I have drummer and a good friend over 2 decades: Gary Foster. Gary was one of the first drummers I met when I was on the Warped Tour 2002(fresh out of high school) and I got to meet his bass player Ronnie Ficarro who would eventually go on to do 4 different projects with me in the coming years. We talk about how Gary got his start, how we met, what he’s been able to accomplish in music and everything else in between.
