June 22nd, 2015 - New York, NY - Skoota Warner's 'Vignettes' is out this week. A culmination of mutiple genres from rock to jazz to hip-hop showcases Skoota's precise drumming style which has earned him the title "The Drummer's Drummer." The musicians who collaborated in the process are as diverse as one could expect from DJ Logic to Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna, David Fuiczynski (Screaming Headless Torsos) and zydeco artist Donna Angelle to name a few as well as C-Rayz Walz who is featured on the next single taken from the album, entitled Still In Love that is out tomorrow. You can see the video below.

To celebrate the release of 'Vignettes', Skoota will be playing New York City's Rockwood Music Halltonight. He will be joined by Freedom Bremner: Vocals (The Screaming Headless Torsos), Aaron Dugan: Guitar (Matisyahu), Danny Sadownick: Percussion (Taylor Swift), Booker King: Bass (Corey Glover), Bahnamous Bowie: Piano and Keyboards (Amel Larrieux.)

Recorded at OWG Studio and Home Studios in New York City , ‘Vignettes’ is a collection of songs that Skoota describes as an eclectic mix of rhythms and genres of music that have greatly influenced him: “It’s a labor of love composed of snippets of everything I love.” A truly collaborative effort with a diverse group of guests, the album was created both via file sharing and live in the studio.

After high school Skoota moved to New York City to chase his drumming dreams. In 1989, Omar Hakim, New York’s premier session drummer chose Skoota to be the drummer for his Rhythm Deep Project. “Skoota nails it,” said Hakim. “He’s a Drummer’s Drummer!”

In 1996 Skoota released his first solo record 'NGA Style' on Popular/Radikal Records which charted on Billboard's Hot Rap Singles. The same year, he and three other friends formed the band Ra, an alternative metal band that saw success with the release of their first EP after WAAF in Boston championed the band by putting their track Do You Call My Name into heavy rotation. This led to their debut album for Univeral Records 'From One' getting to #14 on the Billboard 200 in 2003.

Since the nineties, Skoota has played for some of the hottest artists of all time - Santana, The B’52's,Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, Mary J. Blige, Patrick Stump, the Brecker Brothers, Matisyahu,Yerba Buena and Philippe Saisse. He was also a member of Dave Koz & The Kozmos, the house band for The Emeril Lagasse Show. In 2009, he began touring with Jefferson Airplane founding members, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady of Hot Tuna fame and also currently plays in Cyndi Lauper's band.
