The final concert of the Levitt AMP Tallahassee: Music Under the Oaks series is coming up this week. And it will close out with an exciting bang with the energetic sounds of The Intoxicators!
The band performs at festivals, clubs, and events across the United States and internationally, continuing to build a loyal following among fans of instrumental rock and classic surf revival. And the band’s drummer, Brian Crum, can’t wait to see you on Thursday, July 23, at Lewis Park downtown.
Brian Crum was introduced to the percussion family of instruments, thanks to a member of his own family: his brother. “[He’d] beat on pots and pans when I was a kid… I absolutely hated that,” he says with a smile. “I have no idea how I became a drummer.”
Crum does have other artistic interests: photography, drawing, painting, and writing. Yet, it was in college that he realized he wanted to be a musician.
“My best friend was a drummer in a band,” he explains, reminiscing on how Crum, his best friend’s girlfriend, and roommate were hanging out one day. “We were waiting for [my best friend] to come back from rehearsal… Someone said, ‘We should start our own band and make him wait on us!’” And it was two days after that fateful day that they did.“The roommate had a bass, another day later, the girlfriend had a guitar, and I went to the flea market and bought my first drum kit from Ben Wentworth. That’s how I became a drummer.”
