Alan Lemke grew up, in Barstow, California, listening to rock and roll. Like a lot of drummers, he played along with Ringo and The Beatles. He loves 60’s rock and roll, especially the California country rock sound, so the chance to play with Richie is a great thrill for him.

Don’t let his mild manner fool you. He has a steady, yet aggressive approach to drumming, but also brings a creative feel and touch. Some of his influences include: Ringo Starr, Hal Blaine, Dewey Martin, George Grantham, John Bonham, Russ Kunkel, Vinnie Colaiuta, Kenny Aronoff, Manu Katche, and Dennis Holt.

Alan wishes to thank his beautiful wife, Shanna, and three kids, Abbey, Josh, and Owen for their love and support.
