“There are a lot of guys with chops, and Ganesh is certainly one of them, but don’t hire him for that reason. Hire him because he’s a great player who’s also great to have around. How many chop monsters do you know that you wouldn’t want to share a bus with for more than five minutes? Exactly. Tons. You know who you are, fellas.
Ganesh has been involved with and passionate about music since he was eight. In addition to drums and lead vocals, he not only plays guitar, but can sing all the thirds and fifths you need. Stick a 57 near his face and head for the chorus. He’s got your backups.
Though he has performed live literally thousands of times, across the nation and around the globe, he still finds it fresh and exciting. If you need a guy, he’s the guy. ” ~ Jim Hodgson, Atlanta Banana

Drums
I’ve been playing drums for 30 years. I’m obsessed with timekeeping and the mystery of feel. I’m comfortable with most forms of American music, particularly Pop, Rock, Funk, R&B and Jazz. I love Latin Jazz and have been experimenting with it a lot lately. I’ve been heavily influenced by Jeff Porcaro, Sonny Emory, Jeff Sipe, ‘Sput” Searight, Omar Hakim, JR Robinson and early Tony Williams.
Vocals
I’ve been a vocalist for over 30 years. I was selected as a Georgia All-State tenor twice. I’m comfortable reading and can handle many different styles of voice, including Rock, Pop, Classical, Jazz and Soul. I have a passion for love songs, and I’ve been heavily influenced by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Steve Walsh, Sam Cooke, Joni Mitchell, Imogen Heap, Harry Connick, Jr. and Kenny Loggins.
