S2 E26 - Jacquelene Acevedo

Hello everyone, Billy A here in the Drum Channel East studio with percussionist Jacquelene Acevedo. If that name sounds familiar and you’re unfamiliar with Jacquelene, her father is famed percussionist/drummer Memo Acevedo.

Jacquelene spent the last year on Broadway playing with Talking Heads founder David Byrne in his “American Utopia” Broadway play and concert film directed and produced by Spike Lee.

We speak with Jacquelene about Byrne’s show, winning a Grammy and Tony awards, learning from her dad, and her advice for women and men who want to work in the music business.
