I had a rare chance to see one of the world’s best drummers last night, as Stewart Copeland made an appearance at the Waldo Theater in Waldoboro.
For those who may not recognize his name, despite his extensive musical background, Stewart co-founded the rock band The Police with Sting and Andy Summers back in the day.
Stewart gave an incredibly engaging, entertaining talk about his upbringing—both familial and musical—detailing his journey from childhood up to the formation of The Police.
Following a brief intermission, Stewart happily answered questions submitted by the audience. It was a great night, with a great crowd, and was even more enjoyable watching it all from the front row! 🥁
If you’ve never seen a show at this venue, it’s a cool little spot off the beaten path. Ironically, unbeknownst to be, Andy Summers made an appearance there awhile back. Sounds like all we need now is an appearance/performance from Sting, and the rock and roll trifecta will be complete. 😎😎😎
