Please join me in welcoming

Eugene Datri to the Foy Brothers

Band.

Eugene started playing drums at the early age of 6. He grew up in upstate NY where he studied music. He has performed on the national circuit and more recently internationally at The Ochio Rios Jazz Festival. Eugene has a strong Fusion Jazz background but is a versatile percussionist in all genres, which has given him the opportunity to be involved in multiple studio sessions. He has had the privilege to play with some great performers such as Joe Roy Jackson, Bobby Kendall, Super Nova and Outpost 5, to name a few. He also has done drum tech work for two of his biggest influences Bill Buford and Terry Bozzio. Eugene has a great feel for music and is known to be very intuitive in his playing, he has been called the energizer bunny due to his tired less commitment when playing. We look forward to the next phase of the Foy Brothers Band with Eugene on the drums. We are currently in the studio working on new material with our sites on the third CD.

Look forwrd to seeing you at our next performance...
