Drummer Interview: Kelley Stoltz of Sonny & the Sunsets @ Pitchfork Music Festival

Sonny & the Sunsets had a fantastic vibe at Pitchfork.  In fact, its hard to think of an adjective besides, “sunny.”  Clever arrangements, and each person in the band had moments to shine during the set.  Kelley holds the drum chair for this group, as well as his own solo project, which he describes as “4/4 blues-based rock.”  Kelley enlightened me with his non-nonsense approach, celebrating classic influences but with the benefit of a post-pop lens.
