Percussionist, Rosanne Licciardi, from Rochester, New York, was classically trained on piano, winning awards in music, competition drum corps, dance, art and theater. All that finesse and rhythm came together when she moved to New Orleans in 2010 and met Scott at a James Booker tribute. They hit it off, married and soon after, she picked up her first drum, a djembe, at 69 years old. Moving on, she fashioned her own unique kit of octo snares, a Flamenco cajon, a highhat and a foot bass. Now, in their late seventies, they rock it wherever they can!
