Bill McGarvey plays "The Roots of Rock 'n' Roll" with Good Thieves Stephen Hund & Ari Huff

Good Thief and drum teacher extraordinaire Stephen Hund puts together a 'house band' of guys and girls he's played with over the years to form a great rock cover band concert with a different drum student of his perched on the throne for each song.

It's a great time. the atmosphere is electric in the room and it is a blast to see drum students of varying age and level get up there to play on the stage, under the lights, in front of the screaming and adoring crowd of friends, family and strangers alike.
