Welcome, Guest

    So, I was listening to this show below. When Blake introduces the band, on song 14 about the 10 minute mark, he proclaims "Mr. Higgenbottom (Higenbotham?) on drums." Not sure I know that name. Would have been sometime just after Jay Frederick left. I know they played some shows without a drummer around that time and maybe this is just a guest spot during the transitional phase. Anybody know who that is and if he played with them other times?

    A quick google search reveals that there is a Felix, a Chris, and an Alex Higgenbottom who all have drum sites.

    Chris Higgenbottom filled in for a spell and Blake always referred to him as his cousin from overseas. Darned if I can recall the exact time period.

    Thanks. I learned something new.

    Higgenbottom was the official drumer for almost a year or more I believe. I know when I drove to North Carolina for New years show in 2011 at Pour House he was the drummer.

    I've seen Yarn with all 4 drummers. All good drummers. Each one brought a little something different to the table.

    An "inside source" says it was only three months!
