Having recorded with musicians such as Norwegian X-Factor Finalist, Patrick Jorgensen, internationally renowned Phoenix-based Fender artist Nik West, and Georgia-born YouTube drumming icon Casey Cooper, Jessica continually works with artists from around the world. As a New Media Strategist, she has built herself an online presence worth noticing with over 8,000 subscribers on YouTube and a professional following on all other new media platforms. Despite her own channels’ successes, Jessica has also been featured on other YouTube channels. Featured in a collaborative drum video with the iconic Casey Cooper, Jessica paired up with Casey to create a video that now has nearly half a million views! In the spring of 2015, Jessica entered the online Drum! Magazine sponsored international drumming competition, 'Hit Like a Girl,’ and was picked as a Top 20 Finalist worldwide. In the spring of 2016, Jessica graduated from one of the most internationally praised contemporary music schools in the nation, McNally Smith College of Music. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Percussion Performance, a minor in Music Production and a minor in Music Business, Jessica has developed skills in many different facets of the music industry by maintaining an extremely well rounded understanding of music performance, marketing, recording techniques, music production, video production and photography. In the future, Jessica aspires to continue her growth as a musician, performer, and educator, traveling the world doing freelance work and cultivating her online presence. Jessica maintains a private music studio in Minneapolis, MN where she gives private drum lessons specializing in the expansion of stylistic pallets, technique, applied theory and rudimental understanding. TESTIMONIALS “Collaborating with Jessica Anderson during her time at McNally Smith College of Music, I was struck by not only her tremendous musicality and talent as a player, but also her tireless ambition to learn all aspects of being a modern day DIY musician – production, videography, marketing and much more. It’s been very satisfying seeing her hard work and dedication to her craft start to pay off, as it’s well deserved. She’s also an amazingly gifted teacher, and I send new drum students her way whenever I can.” – David Jarnstrom (writer at Modern Drummer and DRUM! Magazine, Webmaster at McNally Smith College of Music) “Jessica has proven to be one of the most career-driven and focused students to pass through the Percussion Department at McNally Smith College of Music. She has a true passion for drumming and love for music – so much so that she passed on an engineering scholarship at a major USA university to follow her dream! In her time as a student at MSCM, she also worked as a bandleader who formed her own successfully working band in the Twin Cities, and left for a major USA tour with band Enemy Planes immediately upon her graduation this past spring! She is dedicated, talented and not only working steadily in her field but gaining in popularity daily and opening doors that breakdown the stereotypes female drummers have endured for far too long. Check her out!” – David Stanoch (Author of “Mastering the Tables of Time”, internationally acclaimed Winner of the 2009 Modern Drummer Readers Poll for Best Educational Book) “Jessica is an incredible drummer. Unique and someone to watch out for.” – Charles Gehr (Sales and Marketing expert at Z.Vex Effects) TESTIMONIALS “Few students graduate college and then leave for a national tour the next morning, but that is Jessica Anderson. In today’s increasingly dynamic industry, it takes a unique combination of skill and artistry to succeed, and she brings the whole package. An incredible drummer, Jessica is also attuned to today’s driving technology trends and knows how to leverage modern tools to connecter with her friends, fans, and the greater music community. An inspiring young woman, I’m excited to see what she does next.” – Scott LeGere (Co-founder of NoWare Media and Producer of award winning commercial spots for companies including Target, General Mills, PepsiCo and others) "Jessica and I both practice at the same rehearsal complex in Minneapolis, so I see and hear her playing drums daily. Upon meeting her, I was immediately impressed with her style and skill level. When I found out her age (just 22 years old), I became even more impressed! I believe she has the poise and expertise of an older, much more experienced drummer. I view Jessica as one of the most talented, up and coming drummers in the Twin Cities music scene and she is without a doubt going to be someone to keep an eye on in the coming months. It’s obvious to me after getting to know Jessica that she has the drive, determination and work ethic to achieve her goals and make it to the top. I’ve always considered myself to be someone who is not easily impressed, but Jessica’s capabilities definitely stand out amongst the crowd." –Brock Levent (former drum-tech for Michael Bland / Prince) CURRENT ENDORESEMENTS Alclair Audio - Handcrafted Custom In-Ear Monitors Products Used: CMVK Five Driver Custom In-Ear Monitors Fjallraven – Outdoor Gear, Mountain Gear, and Hiking Gear Products Used: Rucksack No. 21 Large Backpack VENUES // EVENTS PERFORMED (MIDWEST) SUMMERFEST 2016 (ULINE WAREHOUSE STAGE) – MILWAUKEE, WI ROCKTOBERFEST 2015 – FRANKSVILLE, WI TWIN CITIES PRIDE FESTIVAL 2015 – MINNEAPOLIS, MN INTERNATIONAL WFTDA CHAMPIONSHIPS 2015 – ST.

  • Out of the Great North Woods of Minneapolis/St. Paul Comes A
    Story (a short Biography) Out of the Great North Woods of Minneapolis/St. Paul comes a swaggering, foot stomping, heart pumping, minstrel laying waste to any instrument that comes within ten fingers of his sweaty reach. From nine years of age on, furious fiddle was joined by an assortment of guitars and harmonicas, recorder and tin whistle. Later on, madcap mandolin sat in with banjo, keys and percussion. As the tapestry of bands starts to unroll, names include The Numbers, Steel Cats, MG & the Untouchables. Marv was with the Mrozinsky Brothers when they were awarded best variety combo from the Minnesota Music Academy. Joined up with Phil Solem to become one of the original REMBRANDTS ("Just The Way It Is Baby", "I'll Be There For You-theme song from Friends"). Co-wrote the song "Crossing Lines" with Phil and Mic Tienken used on the CBS drama The Young & The Restless and the documentary film Michael Moore Hates America. There were stints with GB Leighton and Chace Roberts ("Got It Bad For You"). With the band Kevin Bowe & the Okemah Prophets Marv recorded 3 CDs. The independently released "Restoration" and "Love Songs & Murder Ballads" were followed by the international release "Angels On The Freeway" on Corazong Records of Holland. The Prophets traveled to Oklahoma to sing with Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie. A fourth CD was recorded live with a combined band of Kevin & Minnesota favorite Mick Sterling titled "Doin' It For The People". The story continues with time spent with the acoustic jazz of Late For Lunch, and the rock of St.

    Minnesota - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedia on 3/1/2016 Page 1 of 15 Coordinates: 46°N 94°W Minnesota From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Minnesota ( i/mɪnᵻˈsoʊtə/; locally [ˌmɪnəˈso̞ ɾə]) is a state in the Midwestern United States. State of Minnesota Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. The name comes from the Dakota word for "clear blue water".[5] Owing to its large number of lakes, the state is informally known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North). Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 21st most populous of the U.S. States; nearly 60 percent of its residents live in the Minneapolis –Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities"), the center of transportation, business, Flag Seal industry, education, and government and home to an internationally known arts community. The Nickname(s): Land of 10,000 Lakes; remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; North Star State; The Gopher State; The State of deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated Hockey. North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation. Motto(s): L'Étoile du Nord (French: The Star of the North) Minnesota is known for its idiosyncratic social and political orientations and its high rate of civic participation and voter turnout. Until European settlement, Minnesota was inhabited by the Dakota and Ojibwe/Anishinaabe. The large majority of the original European settlers emigrated from Scandinavia and Germany, and the state remains a center of Scandinavian American and German American culture.
