Keli "Animal" Birchfield Versatile Session and Gigging Drummer

Room to play 😎 For recording and performance gigs, you will need your own mics and/or recording equipment.

I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue, as well as sound volume expectations (ex quiet gig vs loud rock gig).

I provide the drum set. Lighting and other equipment are not provided.

My favorite gig was at the World Café in Philly. The venue and crowd were electrifying 😎🔥🤘

I love playing all sorts of events, but rock gigs are my favorite. While I love playing in the pocket and serving the sound, it's great to pop off every once in a while 😉

I've played everything from basement punk shows to orchestral gigs, and I've recorded all sorts of genres. I started gigging in the Richmond rock scene, working my way into the blues scene there. I moved to Harrisonburg and focused on folk and bluegrass. I also developed a love for the djembe there. Then, I moved to Philly and have since gotten my hands into everything 🙌

Honestly, I take inspiration from everywhere - I love all the drums!

Hell yeah, brother 😎🔥🤘

I typically perform in the evenings. However, I've been known to do a few early afternoon shows every now and again. I've done everything from twenty minute sets to four hour stretches.

Yes, so long as there's shade 🙌

Please give me as much advance notice on performance expectations as possible.

Wild 😎🔥🤘
