Pat Petrillo – The Power Station Sessions
Featured on the cover of February 2023 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine, Innervision Records recording artist Pat Petrillo is world renowned in the drum industry. He has backed and/or recorded with a wide array of artists from many genres, including Patti LaBelle, Gloria Gaynor, Oz Noy, Chieli Minucci, Debbie Gibson, Glen Burtnik and numerous Broadway shows, including “A Chorus Line”, “Grease”, “Footloose”, “Newsies”, and “Dreamgirls”.
He currently leads his killer group, the Big Rhythm Band, performing in New York City and throughout the East Coast. On their record, “The Power Station Sessions” (2022), the band produces 9 groove-packed tracks, in the Contemporary Instrumental category, featuring guest artists Nile Rodgers, John Popper, Oz Noy, Lenny Pickett and Felicia Collins. “The Power Station Sessions is a potpourri of truly American groove styles. These songs are built on rhythms from around the country, from New Orleans Mardi Gras to R&B, funk, blues, rock, and soul. I have a lot of influences, and they are reflected on each track. But it’s also got a real distinctive New York/New Jersey edge. For drummers especially, it’s a real treat. It smacks you in face with flavor from the start. It sort of defies categories.”
