We chat about her love for the drums coming into full bloom, grinding with her band The Summer Set, multiple stints on warped tour, overalls , puppies, playing with 3OH!3, and all the magic that unfolded from there. Oh ya, she also has an epic podcast of her own on the amazing Idobi network called, “Babes Behind the Beats”. You won’t want to miss this very special episode, so tune out and tune in, and be sure to check her out online at Instagram.com/JessBowan.
